Tour Scotland travel photography of King James VI Golf Course by the River Tay on ancestry, history visit and trip to Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. The King James VI Golf Club was established in 1858. In 1860, what is believed to be the first inter club golf match ever played took place when King James VI Golf Club took on the Elie and Earlsferry Golf Club from the East Neuk of Fife, which had also been founded in 1858. In 1884 a team from King James VI took part in the first inter club golf match played in Ireland, against the Royal Belfast Club. King James members later set up some holes on a barren stretch of coastline near the village of Portrush, and were the first to play on what is now a world famous links course.
