FORGET Wimbledon, the real history of British tennis lies at the world’s oldest tennis court in Scotland.
Some 483 mile drive north of the home of Wimbledon sits the 483-year-old venue that only plays a sport coined “real tennis”.
The Falkland Palace Royal Tennis Club in Fife is home to the world’s oldest tennis court, built in 1539 under the command of King James V of Scotland.
The incredible course doesn’t even nearly look how you would think it would.
Swap out the pristinely cut grass and perfect white lines for a paved floor and four walls surrounding the entire court.
You’d be forgiven for thinking that the court was used for a different sport altogether, and truthfully it is.
The historic club’s 50 members play a 500-year-old version of tennis named “real tennis” or “royal tennis”.
The unusual sport is thought to be the origin of what we are used to now and is played within the confines of four walls.
While it uses intricate wall and floor markings for scorekeeping in a completely different system to today’s tennis.
Speaking to the Daily Record, club member Kevin Gilbert explained how it differentiates from the popular game of today.

He said: “It’s played quite differently to lawn tennis, which originated in the 19th century.
“The game involves hitting the ball off a penthouse roof, and you’re allowed to hit it onto the walls and there are other quirks of the game that can win you points.”
There’s thought to be only 50 “real tennis” courts remaining worldwide with around half of them dotted up and down the UK.
Remarkably, anyone wanting to play on the historic course at Falkland Palace only has to pay £10 to get out on the court.
However there is one very large caveat to that tiny price – you have to know the rules of “real tennis” with no “absolute beginners” allowed.
The court is now looked after by the National Trust of Scotland but it’s the tennis club who are tasked with keeping a 500-year-old tradition going.
Gilbert added: “We get visitors from all over the world who visit us, and sometimes write or email us asking if they can have a game on the court and we always include them.
“We’re trying to keep alive the tradition of many centuries of play.”
EARNING a substantial income from side hustles is no longer a pipe dream.
One savvy businessman has shared his story of how he bags hundreds of dollars in just a few hours.
Notaries, or notary publics, witness and authorize the signing of important documents, like passport applications and real estate contracts.
The unnamed individual says he specializes with the latter, and earns wads of cash for his time.
“Sell side [I earn] $75, buyer side $100,” he revealed – adding that an appointment can take as little as 30 minutes.
Notary whizz Jimez Williams took to TikTok to applaud the venture.
“Starting a loan signing service is a fairly lucrative business that is relatively easy to get into,” he said in a video uploaded to TikTok.
“By owning a loan signing service, you’re connecting with title companies who help people buy homes or sell homes or lawyers who have clients that are outside of the state find a way to still get their documents authorized or certified and brought back to their office.
“You are helping them with that process.”
With time and a bit of commitment, you can build up a strong enough following on social media platforms and get paid to promote products and services.
The simplest way to earn money is by partnering with a brand as an Instagram influencer.
They send you products to test out and review in your posts and in exchange they’ll pay you a fee.
You must have a minimum of 1,000 followers to become an influencer and the more followers, the bigger the fee.
You’re followers also need to engage with your posts, as this also affects how much you
Good for your wallet and for the world, reselling unwanted items such as clothes or children’s toys is increasingly popular.
There are plenty of apps and websites that make it super easy to sell your items online by finding potential buyers for you and handling a lot of the shipping process.
Each platform and app offers something slightly different, so it can be a good idea to try a few out until you find one that works for you.
The biggest and the most established platforms are eBay and Amazon.
Both have massive reach, though Amazon’s Marketplace tends to appeal mostly to small businesses.
Some side hustlers scour thrift shops for cheap items they then sell on for a profit.
Generally speaking, there’s no limit on how much you can earn from reselling but the more expensive and in demand the item, the bigger the profit.
Secondhand designer handbags can go for hundreds and sometimes thousands of pounds.
Extra income you make from side hustles may need to be reported to the IRS.
If you receive more than $600 in gross payouts from a selling platform like eBay, the site will issue you a Form 1099-K to use in your tax return.
Individuals should calculate their adjusted gross income, taxable earnings, and deductions for the year.
Once they have that, they can use the 1040-ES form to calculate estimated taxes.
ALEX Scott’s BBC future is in jeopardy over a perceived “lack of support” surrounding Football Focus.
The star was said to be “deeply hurt” by the Corporation’s handling of the situation after she was blamed for falling viewing figures – prompting the star to make a complaint to bosses last year, The Sun can reveal.
The ex-England footballer, 40, is now “considering other offers” – including a possible move to America – as her contract comes up for renewal next year.
Meanwhile, last night a BBC press release confirmed Rochelle Humes and Vernon Kay were taking over from Alex and Jason Manford..
A source said: “Alex has never been happier than she is right now, she’s just turned 40 and embracing a new chapter in her life, and the decision to part ways from Children In Need – an event she is hugely proud to have been a part of – was entirely mutual.
“She wants to concentrate on her ambassadorships with UNICEF and Refuge right now, and is also contemplating a move to America with her girlfriend, Jess [Glynne].
“There are no guarantees she will be with the BBC next summer – her contract is up for renewal and she is in talks for a raft of other exciting projects.
“Football Focus turns 50 this year and Alex is now seriously contemplating moving on from the show.
“Last year she was hugely hurt by unfair criticism about falling viewing figures – and felt she was thrown under a bus. The viewing figures were not as reported and she feels no-one backed her up and issued the correct viewing figures.
“The viewing figures are actually super healthy, and Alex raised her concerns as she has been in this business long enough now to stand up for herself.”
Rochelle will be joined by Vernon in next month’s CIN line-up, alongside Ade Adepitan, Mel Giedroyc, Chris Ramsey and Lenny Rush.
Last year it was reported that Football Focus had lost a third of its audience in the space of four years.
Dan Walker, who previously fronted it, tweeted that it was “hard to see” the show struggling.
Former Arsenal defender Alex hit back, replying sardonically: “Interesting.”
She then put out another message to the critics of the show, posting the show’s Sports Journalist Association award from 2022.
She wrote: “We have big interviews with Ange Postecoglou and Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard coming up on the ‘Award’ winning Football Focus tomorrow.
“Make that a headline.”
Last night a spokeswoman for Alex declined to comment.
