Perth’s Robin Brydone feels well-placed to make a charge for the Scottish Curling Championships title this week.
Brydone, who represents Team Whyte, will line-up alongside fellow Fair City curler Duncan McFadzean, Euan Kyle and Ross Whyte in Dumfries.
Team Whyte, ranked 10 in the world, were edged out in the final last year and are determined to go one better this time around.
