Ice Diamond winner!

Congratulations to our own Margaret Nicol, Secretary of Edinburgh Curling Club, who has been presented with Scottish Curling’s Ice Diamond award for 2024/25.

This award acknowledges an individual’s significant off-ice contribution to the sport, such as tireless work behind the scenes, developing programs, or going above and beyond in their dedication to curling. 

Margaret was presented with her award during Scottish Curling’s 2025 AGM at Inverness Ice Centre, and the quote below is from Scottish Curling’s website:

“Margaret is a shining diamond in the world of Edinburgh curling. For years, she’s been quietly working behind the scenes—always with a smile—to make the sport better for everyone.

As the long-standing Secretary of Edinburgh Curling Club, she has worked tirelessly over an impressive term, helping to deliver major upgrades at Curl Edinburgh. Alongside that, she’s taken on many other roles including, President of the Ladies Branch, RCCC Director, trustee of the Scottish Curling Trust (a role she still holds), and organiser of the Sellar Trophy Ladies Open, to name just a few.

Margaret’s warmth, commitment, and generous spirit have made a lasting difference to the sport and all who take part in it. She truly embodies what the award is all about: someone who gives their time, energy, and heart to curling, simply because they care”.
