Carnoustie

Carnoustie (Càrn Fheusda en gaélique écossais) est une ville et un ancien police burgh du council area de la région d'Angus en Écosse (Royaume-Uni). La ville est située à l'embouchure de Barry Burn (topographie) sur la côte est de l'Écosse. Selon le recensement britannique de 2001, Carnoustie a une population de 10 561 habitants, faisant d'elle la quatrième plus grande ville d'Angus. La ville de Carnoustie a été fondée seulement vers la fin du XVIIIe siècle, et se développa rapidement tout au long du XIXe siècle grâce à l'expansion de l'industrie locale du textile. Au tout début de l'Époque victorienne jusqu'au milieu du XXe siècle, la ville était connue en tant que station touristique, du fait de sa situation en bord de mer. Carnoustie peut-être considérée comme une ville-dortoir dû à sa proximité avec la ville de Dundee, qui se situe à 18 kilomètres à l'ouest. Carnoustie est desservie par la Carnoustie railway station, et la Golf Street railway station. La route principale la plus proche est la A92. Aujourd'hui, Carnoustie est surtout connue pour le golf qui y aurait été pratiqué depuis 1527. Le British Open de golf s'y est déroulé huit fois : 1931, 1937, 1953, 1968, 1975, 1999, 2007 et 2018 sur le parcours du Carnoustie Golf Links.

Battle of Barry

The Battle of Barry is a legendary battle in which the Scots, purportedly led by Malcolm II, defeated a Danish invasion force in 1010 AD. Its supposed site in Carnoustie, Angus can be seen in early Ordnance Survey maps. The history of the event relies heavily on tradition and it is considered to be apocryphal. The battle was named for the Parish of Barry, rather than the village, and was formerly thought to have taken place at the mouth of the Lochty burn, in the vicinity of the area that is now occupied by Carnoustie High Street. While the battle is not historically authentic, its romantic appeal continues to capture the popular imagination.

2021 Women's British Open

2018 Open Championship

The 2018 Open Championship was the 147th Open Championship and was held from 19–22 July 2018 at Carnoustie Golf Links in Angus, Scotland. It was the eighth Open Championship to be played at Carnoustie. Playing conditions were unusual as a result of the heatwave in Scotland which had produced brown, dry and sun-baked fairways and brown rough. The fairways played quickly, enabling several players to hit drives that covered over 400 yards. Francesco Molinari posted a bogey-free final round of 69 to win his first major championship. Molinari finished two shots ahead of Kevin Kisner, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose and Xander Schauffele. He became the first Italian player to win a major.
