A Display to Celebrate the Winter Olympic Games 2026
In February, the GB Curling Team led by Bruce Mouat came home with a silver medal in the men’s event and a fourth place finish in the mixed doubles. The GB team came back with three gold medals and five medals in all – the best Winter Olympics performance by a GB team in history.
To celebrate their achievement and to mark the Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina more generally, the Signet Library has put together an online exhibition featuring some of the rich literature around Scotland’s Ain Game including some of the game’s earliest mentions in the legal literature of the country.
You can view the exhibition here.
The WS Society’s Historical Consultant Kit Baston has written an account of an early legal battle involving the game of curling as part of her ongoing Tales from the Session Papers series – The Curious Case of the Missing Curling Stone
