Old travel Blog photograph of the Grand Opening of the Golf Course in Pitlochry, Perthshire, Scotland. In the early 20th century, the members of both the Pitlochry Golf Club and the Pitlochry Ladies Golf Club played over a nine-hole course situated on the banks of the River Tummel. The holes weaved their way down from Faskally Woods to the pavilion at the Recreation Ground and back again. The new golf course was constructed during 1908 with Willie Fernie of Troon being commissioned as the initial designer. He saw the natural beauty of the Balnacraig and Drumchorry farms upon which the course now rests and set about using the undulating landscape to its full potential.
