About this postcard

The card, captioned "The First Tee", North Berwick, shows golfers in early 20th-century dress on the links at North Berwick, Scotland, with a small red hut at the first tee and the town and North Berwick Law behind. North Berwick Golf Club, founded in 1832, is one of the oldest golf clubs in the world, and its West Links course along the Firth of Forth is famous for holes such as the Redan. The view was published in the Reliable Series, a line of tinted topographical postcards issued by William Ritchie & Sons of Edinburgh.
