This is the state of the old 1st green and fairway at Galashiels Golf Course since it was closed in March 2008 when the 18 hole layout was reduced to 9 holes. I disturbed a small charm of goldfinches feeding on thistle seeds when I approached to take this shot. For a similar view taken in January 2007 when the old 1st green was still in play, see Image
