Who invited curling?

Curling is believed to have originated in Scotland during the early 16th century, with the earliest known mention dating back to 1541. The game was played on frozen ponds and rivers, using stones and brooms, and eventually evolved into the organized sport we know today. While no single person "invited" curling, it developed through the contributions of many players and communities over the centuries. The first official rules were established in the 19th century, helping to formalize the sport.
