Old Photograph Barnhill Scotland
Old photograph of the golf course at Barnhill, Dundee, Scotland. The 18 hole course was opened on Saturday 15th June 1895 by Provost Orchar. It was situated on 13 acres of land owned by the Earl of Dalhousie. In 1902, it was bought by the Burgh of Broughty Ferry for the sum of £500. The course was well used, and the ladies seemed to take special pride in their clubhouse, a small wooden building, around which they planted flower beds. The clubhouse was opened on 8th May 1897. With the outbreak of the World War II the course became little used. Soon after 1950 the course ceased to be used, and remained neglected until 1954 when the local parks superintendent suggested it should be transformed into a rock garden.
