Frederick Guthrie Tait (11 January 1870 – 7 February 1900) was an amateur golfer and Scottish soldier.

Having already been wounded at Magersfontein, Tait was killed having only just rejoined the Black Watch when General MacDonald led the decimated Highland Brigade once more into action at Koodoosberg,[3] South Africa, during the Second Boer War on 7 February 1900 and is buried there.

He is also remembered in the adjacent churchyard by a granite Celtic cross on the Tait family plot on the second burial terrace down from Princes Street.

A memorial plaque from Dunalister Veterans Home is now rehoused in the Black Watch Museum in Perth.

The Freddie Tait Cup is awarded annually to the leading amateur in the South African Open.
