"The last golf town in Scotland to boom in this century was Carnoustie, beside Barry Links to the east of Dundee on the rail line to Aberdeen. It had ancient associations with golf. ... From 1898-1930, it is thought that 150 club professional jobs in North America and elsewhere were filled by Carnoustie émigrés. ... Carnoustie's influence abroad was considerable."

From GOLF - Scotland's Game by David Hamilton. See p. 206 - 207.
