Old Photographs Golf Course Fortrose Scotland
Old photograph of golfers on the golf course in Fortrose, Moray Firth, Scotland. If the game of golf was played in the Kingdom of Fife in the late 15th century, it could not have been many years later before it was introduced to the Highlands. However, the first documentary evidence of golf being played over Chanonry, now Fortrose, was not until 1702. The first clubhouse was later built and opened in 1895. By 1924 the course had been extended to 18 holes and in 1934 a new clubhouse could be afforded. In 1932, James Braid who was born in Earlsferry, Fife, and was five time Open Champion, was invited to advise on a new course layout.
