Historical Curling Places Website/Resource 

Thanks to Ian Wallace of Falkland Curling Club we recently learned of a project that's been running since 2009 which is dedicated to discovering, researching and documenting every site used now and in the past for curling across the UK.

 The site is self explanatory when you land on it but, to help you on the way, above is a screen grab from the site showing part of the Cupar Curling Province area in fife. I count around 30 sites on that image alone. Many of those sites are well known but some are not so well known. All are well reasearched with references on the site itself so, go on, have a wee nosey yourself here

The island of Ailsa Craig and it's link with the 'roarin game'.

Just out on YouTube is this fascinating video made by Ruth Aisling all about the island of Ailsa Craig, off the ayreshire coast, where the granite to make the stones for our sport is quarried.

Ruth also goes into detail on the manufacture of the stones and why we use this particular granite.
