Morison Millar Trophy - Glencorse Hosts 2026 Event

On Thursday 2nd July 2026, Glencorse Golf Club hosts the annual Morison Millar competition, with up to 32 teams taking to Glencorse for 36 holes of golf.

The Morison Millar Trophy is a prestigious event which is hosted by one of the 19 local clubs each year.

History of the competition

The Morison Millar Tournament came about after a brief foray by Ladies in 1927 into the prestigious Dispatch Trophy, previously assumed only to be open to men. These Ladies represented the Dormie Club and comprised a team of 3 Scottish Champions and an 8 times Dalmahoy Club Champion. There was great press interest at the time, but the rules of that particular competition were promptly changed, ensuring the Ladies could not enter again!

However, the Dormie Club’s bid for equality would not end there! It was felt that their actions had shown “a desire to engage in competitive foursomes play” and a group of 5 ladies formed a Committee to create a similar type of competition to the Dispatch Trophy, but for ladies.

Mrs Morison Millar, the first Lady to serve on Edinburgh Town Council and the daughter of Sir Robert Inches, one of the Founders of Hamilton and Inches, agreed to provide a trophy and the inaugural Competition was held on the 11th May 1928. Although not a golfer, Mrs Morison Millar always took a keen interest in the Competition, presenting the trophy every year from 1928 to 1956 with only two exceptions. A member of the family still carries out this duty to this day.

Alphabetical order was adopted for the sequence in which Clubs would host the Competition, starting with Baberton in 1929. The current trophy dates from 1979, after the original one was destroyed in a fire at Craigmillar Park, the 1978 winners.

Over ninety years this unique Competition still satisfies the original purpose of providing an opportunity for Ladies “to engage in competitive foursomes play”.
