HISTORY OF SPORT There is little evidence to firmly establish the birthplace of curling. Both Scotland and the “low countries” of Europe claim title. The earliest artefacts of the game are from the Scots, while the language common to curling can be traced to dialects spoken by the Flemish peoples of what is now Belgium. The stages of curling history are best traced by the development of curling stones. The earliest known stones, dating back to the 16th century, were called “Kuting Stones”. There were small niches scrapped into the stones for fingers to grip and hold. Stones were as small as 2 kilograms, or as large as 10 kilograms. In the mid- 17th century, handles began to appear with the early versions of curling stones. While handles allowed for greater control when throwing the stones, a wide variation in sizes and shapes of the stones still made it interesting to play. Before the current standard, shapes of stones included cones, ovals, squares, hexagons and others. Current stones weigh 18 kilograms of granite from the tiny Scottish island of Ailsa Craig was the material of choice for curling stones.
