1901

Andrew Carnegie of Skibo Castle presents the splendid silver shield to Dornoch Golf Club.  

Finely crafted by Glasgow firm James Weir and Co for the sum of £120 the Carnegie Shield is the Club’s most prestigious trophy. In addition to local landmarks, the Shield’s splendid iconography reflects the Club’s close ties to the United States which endures to this day. Its allure remains as potent as ever, attracting amateur golfers from far and wide to Dornoch. It is played for annually during Tournament Week in August.
