Pond

Originally Kinross Curling Club played on Loch Leven and the surrounding wetland areas. The club first build an outdoor pond in 1840 at Bracklemoss, opposite the modern day Windlestrae Hotel. This was eventually abandoned due to a lack of water. A subsequent pond was built on the Myre using a dam to provide water from the nearby burn. In 1933 the club secured a lease on ground adjacent to the bowling green at ‘The Beeches’. The present-day golf courses had not been constructed, the ground being part of a car park for the bowling club. It was surfaced at that time to form a curling pond, but fell into a state of disrepair following the opeing of the indoor curling rink at the Green Hotel.

In 2006-07 the outdoor pond was completely resurfaced and the club has enjoyed many bonspiels on cold winters nights since. The funding for the refurbishment of the outdoor pond came from the following sources to whom we are most grateful.
