That's fascinating! Curling is huge here in Canada

I was in school in Canada when Sandra Schmirler was playing. Curling was already popular, especially in the prairies, but grew substantially by her inspiration. Watching her rink win Gold at the 1998 Nagano olympics, knowing she had cancer, was breathtaking. A well-made rock is such a thing of beauty on the outside; now I see its beauty is much more than skin deep. I never realized how different types of granite vary in their properties. I wonder how the blue hone plug is cemented into the common green, so the bond lasts the 20 to 30-year lifespan of the rock? What a fascinating trail from rock to Rock. Who knew that Ailsa Craig was anything other than a bird colony with a lighthouse! What a friendly, informative group of people in this industry. And what a lot of fun to be allowed along on their granite harvesting excursions. Thanks for another beauty.

Very interesting vid, I learned a lot! 😮😃 A quote from Men With Brooms (a curling move) “It’s not just a rock. It’s 42 lbs of polished granite with a beveled underbelly and a handle a human being can hold, and it may have no practical purpose in and of itself, but it is a repository of human possibility, and if it’s handled just right it will exact a kind of poetry” 😉😁

My grandparent's emigrated to Michigan in the 1920's and my Grandfather was a miner.

I fell in love with the place in 1990 when I had my 1st holiday there with my now husband. I was only 19 and said "when we get older let's move here" I'm in my 50s now and that ambition has never left me. I'd pack up and move down there in a heartbeat given the opportunity.

Thanks for sharing this interesting adventure with us! Fun fact: I live about 30 minutes away from a town named Ailsa Craig here in Ontario, Canada 🙂 Ailsa Craig, Ontario was founded in 1861 by W.G. Shipley and David Craig. Craig and his family named the village after a namesake island in Scotland. Ailsa Craig, or Creag Ealasaid or Aillse Creag, means “Elizabeth’s rock” in Gaelic. Though founded in the mid 19th century, it wasn’t until the early 20th century that Ailsa Craig became the thriving village it’s known today. At the time, Ailsa Craig served as a commercial hub for farm businesses in the area, leading to their aforementioned success as a cattle shipping centre.

husband speaking age 81 That was a very interesting story. I don't think folks think about the process of a curling stone, we just watch the players slide the stone along and those that polish the ice to help it along. It is just a granite stone to us, not knowing what it takes to make a good stone. My granddad came from Scotland and was a stone mason but his skill was in paving stones for roads and for pillars for buildings. My mother told of his away times often for months while he searched for proper quary stone to use for roads.

Curling stones have for a long time now been banned from using ALL stone from Ailsa Craig(paddy’s mile stone which is situated halfway between Ireland and Scotland) They may take some stone from this island,but it is only used as a skim for the Curling Stones.
