Tour Scotland Winter photograph of a curling sweeper on the ice at Lake of Menteith, Port of Menteith, Scotland. Curling is a team game with similarities to bowls and shuffleboard, played by two teams of four players each on a rectangular sheet of carefully prepared ice. Teams take turns sliding heavy, polished granite stones down the ice towards the target, called the house. Two sweepers with brooms accompany each rock and use timing equipment and their best judgment, along with direction from their team mates, to help direct the stones to their resting place.
