Curling is said to have been invented in medieval Scotland and is first found in the records of Paisley Abbey in 1541. The first piece of evidence of curling in Scotland is a curling stone with the date 1511 found with another one marked with the date 1551. The name of the sport first appeared in Perth, Australia, in 1620.
Curling was the verb for the noun
Curl which describes the movement of the stone. In some regions curling is known as the roaring game because of the sound the stone makes while traveling. In the early days the thrower relied more heavily on luck than on skill and strategy
