A small factory in Mauchline, Scotland, crafts the curling stones used at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Cortina, Italy, from unique granite quarried on the remote island of Ailsa Craig. Kays Scotland, founded in 1851, holds exclusive rights to the island's microgranite, ensuring the stones' durability and performance on ice. The process combines ancient geology with handcrafted precision, supporting the sport's Olympic tradition since 1924.
