I've just returned from my first trip to Scotland. We concluded our trip at North Berwick and on the outward nine I faced the strongest winds that I've ever played in. What great fun! For me, finally getting to see the original Redan was a great thrill. Playing with the wind on the pin cut front left, I hit a near perfect 6 iron (my 160 club) that landed on the front right of the green and rolled about 30 below the hole. Despite a questionable read by the caddy, I managed to two putt for par. A successful trip if that's all I did.
Here are some photos for you all to enjoy. From the tee:
I wonder if they ever use this area behind the stone wall as a championship tee?

If you bail out right, these are the bunkers over the kickmound:
