Bruntsfield Links Golfing Society

Established in 1761, the Bruntsfield Links Golfing Society is one of the oldest golfing bodies in the world, its members originally sharing the ancient common links in Edinburgh's Old Town alongside the Royal Burgess Golfers before moving to Musselburgh in 1876 and finally to its present Barnton Gate site in 1898. The parkland course there, designed by Open champion Willie Park Jnr, enjoys fine views over the Firth of Forth and remains one of the capital's most historic clubs.
