Old travel Blog photograph of the Auxiliary Golf Course in Carnoustie, Scotland. Golf is recorded as having been played at Carnoustie in the early 16th century. In 1890, the 14th Earl of Dalhousie, who owned the land, sold the links to the local authority. It had no funds to acquire the property, and public fundraising was undertaken and donated to the council. The Burnside started life in 1892 with the less than glorious name of " Auxiliary ". As golf had become more popular in the late 19th century it had been decided to create this nine hole course to take pressure off the Championship Course. In 1914 the course was increased to 18 holes and by 1934 it was brought up to the standard of the main course and re-titled the Burnside.
