EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a unique moment in the history of St Andrews, the ancient home of golf in Scotland. Taken in 1946, the image shows a group of Gypsies gathered around a makeshift green, playing golf with homemade clubs and balls. Located in the picturesque town of St Andrews, Fifeshire, this scene represents a fascinating intersection of two distinct communities and their shared love for the national sport. The Gypsies, also known as Travelers, were traditionally itinerant people who lived in caravans and followed seasonal work. Their connection to golf is less documented, but stories suggest that they would often set up temporary camps near golf courses, using the open spaces to play the game they loved. The photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where the boundaries between different communities were less rigid, and the simple joy of playing golf brought people together. The image is particularly poignant given that, at the time, the town of St Andrews was recovering from the devastation of World War II. The sight of the Gypsies playing golf on the links must have provided a welcome distraction and a reminder of the enduring power of community and the human spirit. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of golf and its ability to bring people together, regardless of their backgrounds or circumstances. It is a powerful reminder of the rich history of St Andrews and the unique role it has played in shaping the cultural fabric of Scotland.
