Carnoustie
Carnoustie is a town and former police burgh inside the council area of Angus in Scotland. It's at the mouth of the Barry Burn on the North Sea coast. Based on the 2011 census, Carnoustie has a permanent population of around 11394 inhabitants. This makes it the fourth largest town in Angus. The town was founded in the late 18th century, and it grew rapidly during the 1800s as a result of the growth of the local textile business. Carnoustie benefited from the 19th century fashion for sea bathing. The arrival of the railway enabled the town to grow into a popular tourist location, and it was promoted as the 'Brighton of the North' in the early twentieth century. Carnoustie may be considered a dormitory town. As well as bringing business to Carnoustie, the opening of the railway also made the town attractive to the middle classes, who made use of it as a commuter town for Dundee, further boosting population development in the town. Nearly 50% of the employed population now commute to Dundee for work. It continues to be served by Carnoustie railway station, and significantly less so by Golf Street railway station. Its nearest main road is the A92. The town is best known for the Carnoustie Golf Links course that often hosts The Open Championship. Even though golf has been played on Barry Links since the 16th century, a formal 10-hole golf course was laid out in 1850 to the design and style of Alan Robertson of St Andrews. This was later improved in 1867 by Old Tom Morris, who added a further 8 holes. This course was redesigned during the 1920s by James Braid.
