James Gourlay

The Gourlay family came from Carnoustie and both father and son were named James. The Gourlay's made clubs for many years and forged many club heads for Robert Simpson and other club makers. These heads can be identified by the Gourlay cleek marks of the 'anchor', 'crescent moon & star' or 'horseshoe' marks. Originally operating as a blacksmith's forge in 1893, Gourlay snr probably hand forged some wrought cleeks and irons in this period. 1904 brought in the change to machine production.
