this fantastic event we are looking forward to
welcoming all the teams to the city. "And it

delighted to have been able to accept the bid
from Aberdeen to host the 2009 European Curling
Championship." Sports Minister Patricia Ferguson

CURLING SWEEPS USA
December 1, 2006. Curling is now taking
America by storm! Demand for traditional stones
from Ailsa Craig, which cost £4000 a pair, is
unprecendented. A shipment of 13 tins of stone
is on its way to Wisconsin to help clubs there
and also in Florida and California! The World
Curling Federation (WCF) based in Perth (as are
mcleanscotland) have organised this shipment.
Some 46 countries are now members in WCF.
Granite from this Scottish rock is regarded as
the perfect stone for curlers. Peter Fenson of
the US team said “it’s fantastic how much the
game has taken off”. mcleanscotland are offering
curling clubs and associations around the world,
tours in Scotland, the home of curling. “With
an agreement signed with the Royal Caledonian
