You can give curling a try

Moray Province formed a subcommittee “M.P Curling Development Group”  in 2007  to host try curling followed by coaching to introduce the community male or female into this wonderful sport,  encourage them to take up curling, join a local club and then progress to a level that suits each individual i.e. as a club curler who is happy to have a competitive social game, or to the other extreme go for gold at Olympic standard.
