Scottish Golf History

We want to build this site into the leading online reference source for the history of golf in Scotland. In addition to our clubmaker section, this page allows you to find information on club types, clubmaking centres and courses with some longer articles on individual clubmakers. Browse the themes for topics which interest you or search the articles for a specific name, place or keyword. Many clubmakers were also accomplished players and will be found in the archive of Open Championship results.

The McEwans of Musselburgh
Probably the longest-lived clubmaking dynasty in Scotland stretching from Edinburgh at the end of the 1700s to Mussselburgh and northern England in the 20th century. At their best the finest clubmakers in the country.
