During the Stuart era (1603-1714), golf flourished in Scotland, with James VI (James I of England) and Charles I playing or supporting the game, even playing at Royston and Leith, while Mary, Queen of Scots is famously (though debatably) linked to early play, solidifying its royal and aristocratic appeal, though myths about her abound, contrasting with documented Stuart royal visits to golf sites like Richmond and St Andrews, marking the game's spread and early establishment beyond Scotland.
