Peterhead Golf Club was established in 1841. After the first clubhouse burned down, a new clubhouse was opened in 1887.

Rubbish from the clubhouse was simply dumped in the dunes, and apparently burnt. In recent years, erosion has been exposing the contents of this midden.

Whilst much of the remains coming to light consist in the main of broken glass and crockery, occasionally complete artifacts appear, and I have recovered a Gordon's gin bottle dating from around 1912, and a Long John whisky bottle, dating from around 1924.

Other incomplete finds include beer bottles from Hunter & Sons of Peterhead, and Heslop & Son of Peterhead. Faded beer bottle caps reveal that Hunter & Son took advantage of the new fangled telephone apparatus; Peterhead 150 was their phone number.
