Curling was being played in Kilsyth from at least the 16th century, and in 1716 the Kilsyth Curling Club was established,[1] making it the oldest in the world.[2][3][4] This claim is disputed in other sources, which give either the Kinross Curling Club, established in 1668,[5] or a curling club from Muthill, established in 1739, the honour.[6]
