Old Photograph Golf Course Strathaven Scotland

Old photograph of golfers on the golf course in Strathaven, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. Strathaven is located on the edge of the valley of the Avon Water, around 6 miles from Hamilton, and 18 miles from Glasgow. The A71, which connects Edinburgh and Kilmarnock passes through the town. It has a long history as a market town. A Roman road passes close by, on the south side of the Avon Water, which led to the Roman fort at Loudoun Hill near Darvel. The Golf Course was first established in its current location in 1907. Willie Fernie, Troon the 1883 Open Champion, designed the original 9 holes.
