This curling stone (the stone on the left) belonged to the Grant-Suttie family of Balgone and Prestongrange.

This curling stone is round with flat top and base. The stone has been half polished to make its upper section appear darker than its base. The stone has a wooden and metal handle. The stone bears the marks, R.S.1. It is made of essexite, from Craighead Quarry near Abington, South Lanarkshire. These stones were known as Crawfordjohn.

Curling became popular in East Lothian in the middle of the nineteenth century. Clubs were formed in several towns and villages, generally playing on an open air rink created on a piece of ground gifted or purchased from a local landowner. Bonspiels, when teams from several clubs competed, were held at every available opportunity.
