Clinton tackles Skibo golf course

Bill Clinton has played a round of golf near the castle where Madonna married Guy Ritchie.

Mr Clinton tackled Skibo's exclusive Championship Course in the Highlands.

He also gave tourism in the region its second major boost in five months, after the singer wed at Skibo Castle in December.

The ex-president, who plays off a 12 handicap, arrived at the castle in the Highlands and played nine holes on the local Monk's Course.

He has also played the Old Course at St Andrews and Loch Lomond, which is bidding to host the 2009 Ryder Cup, on his Scottish golfing holiday.
