I have a long fascination with rock and stones. I’m a bonafide petrophilist. It’s natural that I’m drawn to a sport of tossing stones.
Ailsa Craig, the small volcanic island in Scotland’s Firth of Clyde, has supplied the blue hone granite used in curling stones for centuries.
You can learn more about curling stones from The Curling History Blog or The Scotia News.
