Medal of Morningside Golf Club

This silver medal of the Morningside Golf Club in Edinburgh, was presented to John Johnstone in 1892.

The shield-shaped medal, surmounted by crossed golf clubs, has a figure of a golfer in full swing with the inscription 'Morningside Golf Club' above him and 'Instituted 1891' beneath. The reverse is inscribed with the winner's name - John Johnstone.

Golf was almost exclusively a sport for the Scots until the second half of the 19th century, and it was played by a limited number of people. It expanded quickly, particularly after 1880, and was taken up by the English, women, and far more Scots.
