Curling has come a long way since 1511...

Originally played on frozen Lochs, early stones came in all shapes and sizes, and no two were the same.

A beautiful reminder of the sports heritage and just how far the craftsmanship of the stones has evolved.

Ever wondered how a curling stone is made?

Each of our curling stones begins as a block of carefully selected Ailsa Craig granite. The stone is then shaped, turned and polished with precision and skilled craftsmanship.
The final stage is creating the running band - the narrow ring on the bottom of the stone that touches the ice and allows it to glide and curl.

It's a detailed process that ensures every stone meets the exact standards needed for top-level curling.
