Berry's Scotsman's Dream is a work of fiction set initially in 1933. A general synopsis is as follows: three men, A.W. Tillinghast, Alister MacKenzie, and Donald Ross, considered to be the three greatest golf course architects in history, agree to design a golf course for the future, which will be revealed and made public in the year 2000; the golf course they jointly created will then be built and opened for play. They proceed to spend a week on the land, which Tillinghast claims is "the most perfect place I have ever seen for a golf course." It is, in actuality, a farm overlooking Cayuga Lake, near Ithaca, New York, in the fabled Finger Lakes region. (Inventory #: 16295)
