for Provost Winter in 1906, in memory of his
father John Winter who died in 1902.
The Beach Pavilion is next to the Fountain,
built in 1906 as a Cafe. The Pavilion was used
by the Rugby Club for a while before being sold
in 2017 to serve as a Restaurant, Bar, Cafe,
and Art Gallery.
At the Beach is Carnoustie Golf Links,
