Today you'll find some world-renowned courses around Edinburgh, including Gullane, the Open Championship course at Muirfield and the Open Qualifying course at Dunbar. Little wonder then, that East Lothian has been called the 'Cradle of Golf'.
One of the world's first established golf clubs, The Gentleman Golfers of Leith (later the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers) was formed in Edinburgh in 1744.
