EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph titled "The Roaring Game", or, Curling in Scotland takes us back to the early 20th century. Captured by an English photographer, this print is a part of a private collection that holds historical significance. Curling, known as the "Roaring Game" in Scotland, is beautifully depicted in this image. The scene showcases a group of enthusiastic players engaging in this traditional Scottish sport on frozen ice. Their focused expressions and poised stances reveal their dedication to mastering the game. This particular print was used as an illustration for The Kings Empire with an introduction by W H Fitchett, published by Cassell in 1910. It serves as a visual representation of the rich history and cultural heritage associated with curling in Scotland during that time. King Edward VII himself was known to be fond of curling, further emphasizing its importance within Scottish society at the turn of the century. This photograph offers us a glimpse into how people from all walks of life would come together to enjoy this beloved winter pastime. As we admire this historic image captured over a hundred years ago, it reminds us not only of the beauty and skill involved in curling but also highlights its enduring legacy within Scottish culture.
