You can go to Google Images and search for "kilts curling" and find a number of photos of kilted curlers - honoring the game's Scottish origins...despite one errant announcer giving Olympic coverage who attributed curling's origins to Canada.....
Just one errant, Ron? I don't know of a single rink proven to be in existence in the Highlands before 1773. Prior to that there is no written or illustrated evidence of kilted curlers (that I know of ). After that date there may well have been a select few. but they were not the common folk and were atypical of the culture.
