Old Photographs Club House Balcomie Golf Course Crail Scotland
Old photograph of the Club House at Balcomie Golf Course by Crail, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. In 1786, two years before George Washington was elected the first President of the USA and three years before the storming of the Bastille in Paris, a group of eleven gentlemen met at the Golf Inn in Crail and together formed the Crail Golfing Society. Since then, through the upheaval of the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, the Victorian Age, two World Wars and the Cold War, the gentlemen of Crail have continued to enjoy their golf while playing a full role in the events happening around them.
