Plaque inscription reads: Old church of St Andrew | Close by this site in ancient times our ancestors erected a Christian Cross as witness to their faith. A Church dedicated to St Andrew was established, probably as early as the 9th century, and three centuries later the simple Norman church was began. The Scots Parliament decreed a transfer to Dirleton in 1612, partly because the old church was being “continually over blown with sand” and partly because its location had become inconvenient as most of the parishioners at that time lived in Dirleton. Growth of Gullane as a holiday and golfing resort during the 19th century led to the building of St Peter’s Church, now disused, Gullane Parish Church and St Adrian’s Scottish Episcopal Church.

Not much to see now but remains of walls can still be seen after 200 years The Thirteen Rules of Golf 1 “You must tee your ball within a club’s length of the hole” 2 “Your tee must be on the ground.”) 3 “You are not to change the ball which you strike off the tee.” 4 “You are not to remove stones, bones or any break club for the sake of playing your ball, except upon the fair green, and that only within a club’s length of the ball.” 5 “If your ball comes among water, or any watery filth, you are at liberty to take out your ball and bringing it behind the hazard and teeing it, you may play it with any club and allow your adversary a stroke for so getting out your ball.” 6 “If your balls be found anywhere touching one another you are to lift the first ball till you play the last.” 7 “At holing you are to play your ball honestly at the hole, and not to play upon your adversary’s ball, not lying in your way to the hole.” 8 “If you should lose your ball, by its being taken up, or any other way, you are to go back to the spot where you struck last and drop another ball and allow your adversary a stroke for the misfortune.” 9 “No man at holing his ball is to be allowed to mark his way to the hole with his club or anything else.” 10 “If a ball be stopped by any person, horse, dog, or anything else, the ball so stopped must be played where it lies.” 11 “If you draw your club in order to strike and proceed so far in the stroke as to be bringing down your club, if then your club should break in any way, it is to be accounted a stroke.” 12 “He whose ball lies farthest from the hole is obliged to play first.” 13 “Neither trench, ditch, or dyke made for the preservation of the links, nor the Scholars’ Holes or the soldiers’ lines shall be accounted a hazard but the ball is to be taken out, teed and played with any iron club.” (The first written rules also include the first local rule, for what we would now describe as ground under repair.)

A walk with Robert Louis Stevenson Looking – glass River Smooth it slides upon its travel, Here a wimple, there a gleam – O the clean gravel! O the smooth stream! Sailing blossoms, silverfishes, Paven pools as clear as air – How a child wishes To live down there! We can see our coloured faces Floating on the shaken pool Down in cool places, Dim and very cool; Till a wind or water wrinkle, Dipping marten, plumbing trout, Spreads in a twinkle And blots all out. See the rings purse each other; All below grows black as night, Just as if mother Had blown out the light! Patience, children, just a minute – See the spreading circles die; The stream and all in it Will clear by and by.
