<P> In 2011 it was held at Castle Stuart Golf Links , near Inverness , due to the financial difficulties being suffered by Loch Lomond . Play was reduced to 54 holes ( three rounds ) in the tournament due to heavy rain , which caused flooding and landslides . Aberdeen Asset Management took over sponsorship in 2013 , but the event remained at Castle Stuart in 2012 and 2013 before moving to Royal Aberdeen Golf Club in 2014 . It was played at Gullane Golf Club in 2015 and at Castle Stuart Golf Links in 2016 . In 2016 , the attendance figures at Castle Stuart were disappointing , with a reduction of more than 20,000 to 41,809 over the four tournament days . In 2017 it was held in Ayrshire , for the first time in its current guise , at Dundonald Links . </P>
