As the country’s Winter Olympic curling medallists return to Scotland, there are hopes the game can be brought to new faces both in Stirling and across Scotland.
The stone-wielding efforts of the Team GB curling teams brought the country’s only medals at the Games in Beijing, with both Eve Muirhead’s gold medal-winning rink and Bruce Mouat’s silver medallists training full-time at The PEAK in Stirling.
The success has led to calls for the sport to be given more visibility away from the four-year Winter Olympic cycle and inspire a fresh generation to pick up their brushes.
