The Old Golf Course at Musselburgh Links just outside of Edinburgh Scotland has been officially recognised as the oldest surviving golf course in the world by Guinness World Records. Historians uncovered the earliest record of golf being played on any surviving golf course from an Account Book of Sir John Foulis of Ravelston an Edinburgh lawyer, the earliest game played on Musselburgh Links took place on 2 March 1672 where he documents "he lost at golfe at Musselburgh…£3.05.0." This documentary evidence was included in The Golf Book of East Lothian, published in 1896 and written by John Kerr, the minister of Dirleton.

Musselburgh has long been known affectionately as "The Cradle of Golf". Mary Queen of Scots is believed to have played the course in 1567; its origins however are probably in the twelfth or thirteenth century.
