Curling at Fintry

Life at Fintry wasn’t all work and no play. I enjoyed curling in Scotland. So I thought, why not curl in Canada. We were able to divert some water from Shorts Creek to a flat piece of ground near Burnside. There we had our own outdoor rink. Later a covered rink was built behind the barns. Aye, we had grand times in the winter. I organized two teams from workers on the estate. I chose only the best players to be on my teams. As well as playing at home, we travelled to other towns to compete. Little work was expected of the lads on the teams during the curling season because they were up at night travelling to competitions. Ach, I never let work get in the way of a good time.
