Brush Clan Cold Curling Grant Kilt Scot Scots Tartan Games
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century photograph captures the essence of Scottish culture and tradition, as members of Clan Grant engage in the ancient and beloved winter sport of curling. The image transports us back in time, as we witness the raw beauty and raw elements of a Scottish winter scene. The men, dressed in their traditional Scottish attire, proudly display their tartan kilts and brushes, a symbol of their heritage and clan affiliation. The cold, wintry landscape is dotted with ice formations, providing the perfect conditions for the curling game to take place. Curling, a sport that originated in Scotland over 500 years ago, is a team game that requires skill, precision, and strategy. Two teams, each consisting of eight players, take turns sliding heavy granite stones, called chews, towards a circular target area called the house. The team with the stones closest to the center of the house scores points. The photograph not only showcases the sport of curling but also highlights the strong sense of community and camaraderie within Clan Grant. The men, bundled up against the cold, share a moment of shared excitement and competition, as they prepare to take their turns on the ice. This photograph is a beautiful representation of Scottish types, showcasing the unique blend of history, tradition, and culture that defines the Scottish people. It is a reminder of the rich heritage and traditions that continue to thrive in Scotland, even in the face of the harsh winter elements.
