Website updates – Golf Course and Duel Stone

Posted on February 1st, 2020

The Golf Course

We have added a whole new section on the history of the Ferryhills Golf Course from 1890 to 1940.

It took longer than we expected to tease out all the strands of this tale to make a coherent story. We hope your enjoy it.

There are still some gaps in the story, especially the period from 1920 to 1940.

If you know of anyone who might have old records from that period – Club Handbooks, trophies or any other mementoes – please ask them to get in touch so that we can add to the story.

The Duel Stone

We have also added a page about the Duel Stone, which commemorates a duel from 1824 – claimed to be the last duel fought in Fife.

Since the stone was laid in 1987, this claim been superseded by a later duel fought in 1826 outside Kinghorn.

Our web-page tells the story of both duels – one about a horse race, the other with a client’s bank manager!
