Forget the Olympics for a moment, let's celebrate the sport's origins today, and the bonspiel that DID take place on the Lake of Menteith last month. The video was filmed by Mike Queen of Airthrey Castle Curling Club, and shows some of the action from the Scottish Central Province Bonspiel held on January 10.
Well done to Mike for putting this together and posting to YouTube. The original link is here.
