Founded in 1851, the business has always been a wholly owned family business. Kays have the exclusive rights to harvest granite from Ailsa Craig. The qualities that make Ailsa Craig Granite unique are some of the main reasons that Kays of Scotland’s curling stones are the preferred choice around the world. Kays curling stones have been used in every Winter Olympics since 1924.
