Partick Curling Club Clubhouse

Dublin Core

Title

Partick Curling Club Clubhouse

Description

A hidden gem, little altered from its earliest days. It contains Curling Club memorabilia, the locker room where stones are kept, and� an outdoor rink.

Curling is one of Scotland's oldest sports. Sadly, few clubhouses with outside rinks have survived. Not often open to the public, this listed clubhouse takes you back in time to an age when members were regularly able to play outside.

Curling began in the countryside but was aided in moving to town areas by the invention of artificial ponds, of which the present playing area is an example. Much of the character of the pavilion has been retained, together with artefacts of the game.

??Booking not required

Curling enthusiasts will be on hand to show you around, talk on the history and technicalities of the sport and answer your questions. Light refreshments available, and also a chance - weather permitting - for children and families to try curling with plastic "stones".

Children�s

Try Kurling, a little like the real thing, but with plastic "stones". Mainly for young children, five upwards, but we have found that family members of all ages need little encouragement to try their hand. This is weather dependent.
