The Machrie, Islay - movie from 1935

Don’t know if this has ever been seen here, but it’s really worth a view. It’s the only moving image I’ve ever seen of the legendary Mt Zion! Also a couple of cracking shots of the ‘Scotsman’s Maiden’. Fire up the link and go to about 8:25…

If only they were still played…still a magnificent golf course. Look out for a photo essay on a favourite hole from me shortly.
Cheers,

The White River runs dark through the heart of the Town,
Washed the people coal-black from the hole in the ground.
