London Scottish Golf Club (Instituted 1865) silver medal - embossed with the Scottish Lion Crest, Thistle, blue ribbon and bar - overall 2.75" - mf&g 9.75" x 7.5" Note: The London Scottish Golf Club near the windmill on Wimbledon Common is the third oldest golf club in England. It was founded in 1865 by members of the London Scottish Volunteer Rifles, who were stationed on the common. Some of the holes were laid out roughly along the lines of rifle ranges. There is evidence to suggest that golf was played on the course for at least two years before the club's formal foundation, which would make London Scottish the longest continually played upon golf course in England. Originally consisting of seven holes, it was redesigned as an 18-hole course by the club professional Tom Dunn in 1871, thereby becoming only the fifth golf course in the world.
