Old photograph of golfers on the Golf Course in Girvan, South Ayrshire, Scotland. The course was designed by James Braid after whom the first hole was named and has had few alterations since its inception in 1902. Girvan was originally a fishing port. In 1668, it became a municipal burgh incorporated by charter. The opening of the railways, initially with the Maybole and Girvan Railway at the end of the 1850s, encouraged the development of Girvan as a seaside resort.
