"Curling" Scottish or British?

The nationality of Oscar Wilde attracted some attention.
So, what do the audience think of Curling? Curling is an Olympic Sport. Below is a brief article: <<<Whether or not the game was invented in Scotland, it can certainly be said that the Scottish affinity with the game is second to none. A veritable national sport, curling, like tartan and haggis, is a Scottish speciality. In fact the entire British team at the Olympics comes from north of the border.>>> http://www.guardian.co.uk/netnotes/article/0,,653346,00.html |

Well, comparing a sport with someone's nationality is a bit specious.
I'd say curling is a quintessentially Scottish sport by origin. But it is arguably a quintessentially Canadian sport now too (with due acknowledgement of our debt to the Scottish immigrants who introduced it to Canada so successfully). www.curling.ca |
