Curling Match between the Earl of Mansfield and the Earl of Eglington, on Airthrie Loch, 1850. Creator: Unknown

Curling Match between the Earl of Mansfield and the Earl of Eglington, on Airthrie Loch, 1850. The north party scored three the first lead; and having thus taken the lead, they kept it all through the game. The playing was very fine on both sides;...the numbers were 26 to 19, Lord Mansfield being the winner by seven shots. At the commencement of the play, Lord Eglinton proposed a bet of a load of meal for each of their respective parishes, which was accepted. The whole of the gentlemen played with great spirit and interest, and the playing was considered above the average of matches...Lord Abercromby (on whose property the lake is) visited the ground several times during the day, and also sent refreshment. At the close, he presented the Bridge-of-Allan Club with a medal...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
