Where is this tiny island which produces the curling stones used in the Olympics?

"Eagles and whales aside, this tiny island is uninhabited". I am certain that whales do not inhabit the islands.

I know Dolphins can be trained to walk on their tails but that’s on them he water, the thought of Whales walking on the island made me chuckle and reminded me of this classic Dad joke Where do Whales get weighed? At the Whale Weigh Station!!! 😂🥹

Player Jellybean, It is opposite Girvan harbour and you can see it from miles inland.

How long does a curling stone last? That would've been nice to have in the description.

Player: Coco, they blast it off the sides. please note grass is now on the flat bits from bird droppings containing seeds. gods little feathered farmers.

Player: Coco, Enough land for them to have been able to run a couple of railtracks and wagons to haul the stones. It was also used as a prison in the 18th and 19th century and has only been uninhabited since 1990 when the lighthouse was automated. ☺

I wonder how they mine the quarry with no land on the island (set up on the rocks?) Doesn't seem like a sustainable process - even though a curling stone isn't that big...

Arohanui, to bad
