The new project, apart from the Museum for Andy Murray, will also include an 18-hole golf course. Moreover, it will also have a 4-star hotel to host corporate events and coaching courses.

The Museum, the golf course, and the housing project will be built in Park of Kier, a historic place in Dunblane. However, locals, including the politicians remain opposed to the idea. In fact, even a local school voiced its opposition to the same.

Furthermore, a new community park will also be there. It will span 150 acres and have woodland walks on the site. It will also include an adventure park for children and have an all-weather pitch for football.
