A game played on the ice (on a curling-pond, or other smooth frozen surface) in which large rounded stones (see curling-stone n.) are hurled along a defined space called the rink towards a mark called the tee. The game has undergone considerable developments in Scotland since the 17th cent., and has now been introduced elsewhere, where climatic conditions are favourable.It appears in its earlier form to have been akin to Quoits, but has now more analogy with Bowls, with modifications consequent upon the situation. A game similar to it in its early form appears in Flanders a1600; Kilian has kluyten kalluyten, ‘ludere massis siue globis glaciatis; certare discis in æquore glaciato’, to play a match with quoits on a smooth surface of ice. The name appears to describe the motion given to the stone. In Flemish the name krullebol (curl-bowl) is given, apparently from its motion, to the wooden bowl with which a somewhat similar game bolspel is played in an alley.
