Curling Match between the Earl of Mansfield and the Earl of Eglington, on Airthrie Loch, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Curling Match between the Earl of Mansfield and the Earl of Eglington, on Airthrie Loch, 1850. The north party scored three the first lead; and having thus taken the lead, they kept it all through the game. The playing was very fine on both sides;...the numbers were 26 to 19, Lord Mansfield being the winner by seven shots. At the commencement of the play, Lord Eglinton proposed a bet of a load of meal for each of their respective parishes, which was accepted. The whole of the gentlemen played with great spirit and interest, and the playing was considered above the average of matches...Lord Abercromby (on whose property the lake is) visited the ground several times during the day, and also sent refreshment. At the close, he presented the Bridge-of-Allan Club with a medal...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of a grand curling match that took place on Airthrie Loch in Scotland, between the esteemed Earls of Mansfield and Eglington in the year 1850. The photograph, an engraving from the Illustrated London News, showcases the aristocrats in their formal attire, donning top hats, overcoats, and breeches, as they engage in the traditional Scottish winter sport. The Earl of Mansfield, Archibald William Montgomerie, the 13th Earl of Mansfield and 1st Earl of Winton, stands on the left side of the image, while the Earl of Eglington, Archibald Montgomerie, the 13th Earl of Eglington, is on the right. The caption from the Illustrated London News reports that the Earl of Mansfield took the lead in the first end and managed to maintain it throughout the game, with a final score of 26 to 19. The noblemen displayed exceptional skill and spirit, with Lord Abercromby, the landowner of the property where the lake is located, visiting the grounds several times during the day and providing refreshments for the players. The curling match was considered above average in terms of play, with both parties demonstrating remarkable finesse. At the conclusion of the game, Lord Abercromby presented the Bridge-of-Allan Club with a medal as a token of appreciation for the exceptional display of athleticism and sportsmanship. The event was a testament to the aristocratic tradition and the enduring appeal of curling in Scotland during the 19th century.
