Carnoustie is a small coastal town in Angus, Scotland, sitting on the North Sea between Dundee and Arbroath. Its sandy dunes and long esplanade give it a classic east-coast character, and the town has grown into a mix of local services, commuter homes for nearby cities and a steady flow of visitors.
Historically it expanded in the 19th century around weaving and agriculture, but today it is best known for Carnoustie Golf Links, a championship links course famous for its toughness and memorable Open Championship moments. The nearby Barry Buddon training area and the coastal landscape add military and natural interest, while the local economy leans on tourism, hospitality and small businesses serving a close-knit community.
