A DISPLAY TO CELEBRATE THE WINTER OLYMPIC GAMES 2026

As we write, a Winter Olympics Bronze Medal match looms for Jen Dodds and Bruce Mouat in the Mixed Doubles Curling.

To celebrate their achievement and to mark the Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina more generally, we’ve 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
