Tour Scotland Winter photograph of Murrayshall Golf Course by Scone, Perthshire, Scotland. Measuring 6441 yards, the championship course lies on 350 acres of rolling parkland. The course was designed by Hamilton J. Stutt, the grandson of the great James Braid's chief foreman. He was the son of John R Stutt, born 1897, died 1990, the builder of many courses designed by James Braid, and as a boy accompanied his father to several golf construction sites. He was educated at Glasgow Academy and St Andrews University in Fife, where he studied mathematics and botany. He represented the university at both golf and tennis. In the 1960s he gave up the family construction business so that he could devote all his time to golf course architecture. He spoke French, German, Spanish and Norwegian and worked on more than 120 projects in Europe, Scandinavia and the Middle East. He was a member of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews and president of Parkstone Golf Club.
