Old travel Blog photograph of the Barry Burn and the Golf Course Clubhouse in Carnoustie, Scotland. The Barry Burn, also known as Pitairlie Burn is a small river in Angus. It rises in the eastern portion of the Sidlaw Hills and flows past Newbigging, through Barry and the western part of Carnoustie, before taking a meandering course through Carnoustie Golf Links, a historic championship golf course is one of the venues in the Open Championship rotation. 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 original course was of ten holes, crossing and recrossing the Barry Burn; it was designed by Allan Robertson, assisted by Old Tom Morris from St Andrews, Fife, and opened in 1842.
