Old Photograph Coodham House Scotland
Old photograph of Coodham House by Symington, South Ayrshire, Scotland. In 1826 Mrs William Fairlie, widow of a banker from Calcutta built the mansion house. In 1850 James Ogilvie Fairlie of Coodham organised a meeting at the Red Lion in Prestwick of fifty seven gentlemen from the West of Scotland, leading to the formation of the Prestwick Golf Club and as a direct result in 1860 the first Open Championship was held. In the 1870s W. H. Houldsworth Esq owned the property and added a new wing, conservatory and a private chapel. It was known as Williamfield for a time and later the property was renamed Fatima House and became a retreat with a new wing added.
