Discover the Home of Curling
A rare chance to experience curling’s legendary roots by the Scottish coast
Glenapp Castle is celebrating the excitement of the Winter Olympic Games in Cortina, with the spotlight shining especially brightly on the local town of Stranraer. It is one of just three towns in southwest Scotland that consistently produce elite curlers, with the region delivering half of this year’s Team GB Olympic curlers.
From the Castle’s soaring windows, look out across rolling gardens and wild seas to the Ailsa Craig, the dramatic volcanic island whose rare granite is used to produce the world’s finest curling stones. Cruise there aboard the Glenapp boat, explore its rugged beauty, and stand where the curling stones quite literally begin! Subtle touches of Ailsa granite throughout the Castle quietly honour this extraordinary heritage.
There has never been a more perfect time to visit southwest Scotland and discover the home of curling. Guests of Glenapp Castle will enjoy complimentary luxury chauffeur transfers to Stranraer Curling Rink, which bred many of Team GB’s finest curlers, for an incredible curling lesson and experience. Pairing this with gourmet Glenapp dining, luxurious Castle accommodation and stunning coastal scenery, this spectacular special offer showcases the very best of southwest Scotland.
