Royal Caledonian Curling Club used to send a telegram asking him to measure the ice thickness to see if a match could be played. This was a big event seemingly and I still have newspaper photos of him beside an 11-inch thick plug of ice. The last Bonspiel was in 1935.<br /><br />John A Smith<br />wharryburn@yahoo.co.ukwharryburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122880489678872906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654195680992385326.post-36113661384615331922018-02-11T20:10:08.442+00:002018-02-11T20:10:08.442+00:00I visit carsebreck with my dog many times as I liv...I visit carsebreck with my dog many times as I live locally but had no idea it was constructed for curling!

So! Why is that farmhouse abandoned? Who owns the land now? Is Carsebreck on the list of possible future grand match sites or curl-able in deep cold snaps?Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04315981267680041031noreply@blogger.com
