Swilcan Bridge & Clubhouse, St. Andrews, Scotland

[UNVERIFIED CONTENT] The 18th hole at St. Andrews Old Course, St. Andrews, Scotland. The foreground features the Swilcan Bridge which crosses the Swilcan Burn, a small stream or creek that crosses the 18th fairway in front of the tee ground. The bridge itself is extremely small; at its furthest extents it measures about 30 feet long, eight feet wide and six feet tall. It was built in the style of a simple Roman arch around 700 years ago to help shepherds get livestock across the stream. In the background is the clubhouse and home of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, which was founded on 14 May 1754 with the first Challenge for the Silver Club. St. Andrews is known as "the home of golf".
