Tour Scotland Autumn video of the golf club and course on ancestry visit to Aberfeldy, Perthshire, Scotland. One of the oldest courses in the Scottish highlands, the first nine holes were built in 1895. It was laid out on what was then known as The Cour - grazing ground for cattle. In 1907, Sir Neil Menzies offered to rent the club Weem Cow Park, on the north side of the river, to make the course 18 holes. Negotiations failed and in 1908, the lady members proposed extending the course onto ground at Killiechassie, further east on the north side of the river. That also came to nothing. It was not until 1991 that the Weem Cow Park was finally purchased by the club. A new footbridge was built over the river and the course became the 18 holes.
