Formerly known as the British Universities Championship (when Cambridge University competed against the Scottish teams), the SSS Universities Open traditionally brings down the curtain on the university curling season. It is played over a weekend in early April and has for the last few years been contested exclusively at the North-West Castle Hotel’s curling rink in Stranraer.
Edinburgh University were the first winners of the competition, under Lindsay Scotland, in 1977.
In 2016 Edinburgh 5 won the Low Road with Skip Andrew Johnston, Rosie Duckworth, Eilidh Yeats and Szymon Sacher.
