We are always pleased to welcome new or returning curlers who live around Linlithgow in West Lothian, or further afield. Our club games are played at two ice rinks, "The Green" in Kinross and "The Peak" in Stirling, usually on Tuesday evenings. If you are interested in
joining Abercorn CC or would like more information, please e-mail John Leitch, the Secretary.
We play regular club games in two leagues: The John Cochrane is the senior league, with 5 rinks (teams of four curlers) competing for the trophy, and the Karl Pohlen is the next level down, with 4 rinks competing. We also play against other curling clubs and have a number of other club competitions: Opening and Closing bonspiels, Knockout, Pairs (2 curlers per rink) and Points (individual scoring).
