The first organization of curling clubs into an association took place in Scotland on July 25, 1838, under the name "Grand Caledonian Curling Club". When, five years later, Queen Victoria gave permission to use the word "Royal", the association dropped the word "Grand" considered superfluous. Since 1843, the association is known as the "Royal Caledonian Curling Club", the "mother club" to which are linked, each as "a Branch", curling clubs in Canada and elsewhere in the world.

OBS

The official name is "Royal Caledonian Curling Club", "of Scotland" being added to locate the club and distinguish it from other curling clubs having "Caledonian Curling Club" as an element of their name.

CONT

C'est le 25 juillet 1838, en Écosse, que les clubs de curling se regroupent en association pour la première fois et prennent le nom de «Grand Caledonian Curling Club». Lorsque, cinq ans plus tard, la reine Victoria autorise l'utilisation du mot «Royal», l'association choisit de laisser tomber le mot «Grand» considéré superflu. Depuis 1843, on connaît donc le regroupement des clubs de curling sous le nom de «Royal Caledonian Curling Club», le «club-mère» auquel sont liés, en tant que succursales (chacune appelée «a Branch»), des clubs de curling du Canada et d'ailleurs dans le monde.

OBS

Le nom officiel de l'association est «Royal Caledonian Curling Club»; on rajoute la précision «d'Écosse» lorsqu'il y a lieu de le distinguer des autres clubs de curling qui ont les éléments «Caledonian Curling Club» dans leur nom.
