Some of Scotland’s oldest golf courses are in danger of disappearing into the sea due to climate change, according to those trying desperately to save them.

Recent storms and rising sea levels are forcing some to crowdfund in order to build ever higher coastal defences.

Links courses on the east coast have been particularly affected, with Montrose Golf Club losing seven metres (23ft) to the sea in the past year alone.

A total of 34 coastal courses said they were suffering due to rising sea levels, with more said to be at risk.

      The golf course lifts off entirely, flies off and crashes into the atlantic. It carries with it all the customers that were on it at the time and the course manager, but inexplicably all the staff are left behind.
