Curling at Carsebreck
About this artwork
In 1899 the Royal Caledonian Curling Club celebrated its Diamond Jubilee. This picture was commissioned to celebrate the event. The sixty-one figures are all portraits and a detailed key to their identities was published. Two women are present - Lady Gilmour and Mrs Maxwell Durham - both seen at the far right. The Club owned the site at Carsebreck, Perthshire, which was flooded to form a safe sheet of ice for the Grand Matches.
