The scholarship is funded by the Old Glenalmond Golfing Society (OGGS) and was launched as part of their recent 75th anniversary celebrations.

Golf has been played at Glenalmond for over 100 years. The Cairnies 9 hole course, designed by James Braid, and completed in 1920, is one of the country's finest school golf courses.

Carly, who has just returned from competing in the Junior Ryder Cup, earlier this year became the youngest ever player to represent Great Britain and Ireland in the 76-year history of the Curtis Cup. Last year she carried off the Scottish Under-21s and Under-18s titles and, after winning the European Junior Masters in France, she is now rated the No.1 junior in Europe.

Carly returned from training in America to take up her place at Coll at the start of September this year.
