Title
Kays of Scotland
Description
The origins of Kays of Scotland goes back to 1851 when William Kay established his curling stone business using Ailsa Craig granite. The company is a small family owned concern, with all three directors being connected to Andrew Kay and continues to use Ailsa Craig granites, to which it has exclusive rights.
Kays of Scotland have always taken pride in striving to produce the finest curling stones and was instrumental in setting the standard weight of 40lbs for indoor curling stones - adopted throughout the world. Today weight is still an important factor when we match our curling stones using our own computer program.
Granite for the main body of the stone and striking band must be resilient and of suitable molecular structure and the Ailsa Craig Common Green granite displays excellent characteristics in these areas and has a proven record going back over centuries. These are some of the reasons why we took off over 1500 tons of Ailsa Craig granite in the summer of 2001.
