Scotland is usually credited with inventing curling, in the 16th century, although claims have been made for the Low Countries as the sport’s point of origin. Scotland promoted the game worldwide and was the site of the first organized clubs, which were founded in the 19th century. Curling later became especially popular in Canada.
