Spring Drive Granny Clark's Wynd Old Golf Course St Andrews Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland Spring travel video of a drive across Granny Clark's Wynd on visit to the Old Golf Course in St Andrews, Fife. This the road that splits the fairways of the 1st and 18th fairways on the Old Course at St. Andrews. It is thought that no other championship course has a public road crossing two of its holes and golfers who have the misfortune of having their ball end up on the road must play it as it lies or take relief under penalty. The Clarks had a cottage on the communal drying green where townspeople dried their laundry, and from about 1830 to the 1860s Grannie Clark supervised the activity around that site and provided endless cups of tea, sandwiches. Forecasters predicted very hot weather in some parts of Scotland today.
