The Queenshill Cup at Castle Douglas
Year: 1952
A hundred or so players were wearing themselves out. Looking more closely at it, this strange competition is none other than curling, a sort of bowling on ice. The shot has a rounded shape like an old iron made of cast iron. Each player must throw the shot to reach a target, situated nearly 40m away. Concentric circles engraved in the ice represent the target. The diameter of the biggest circle measures approximate 3 m.
