Trivia: The first official rules of curling were written in what European city?
Edinburgh, Scotland
Copenhagen, Denmark
Milan, Italy
Bucharest, Romania
The correct answer is Edinburgh, Scotland
So why is this answer correct? : Scotland didn’t just give the world golf — it also gave us the winter sport of curling. Depictions of a similar game were painted by Flemish artist Pieter Bruegel in the 16th century, and the first written evidence of the game appeared in a 1540 Scottish book. However, it wasn’t until 1838 that the sport’s official rules — known as the “Rules in Curling” — were adopted by the Grand Caledonian Curling Club in Edinburgh. That group eventually became the sport’s governing body.
