A purpose built curling pond has sat near Berwick Railway Station for at least 150 years, though the history of the sport in the town can date back slightly earlier.

We're aware a group of curlers played the sport at Berwick since at least the 1860s, as folk from this place and Kirkcudbright took part in an annual match in February of each year. It may however date back earlier, as the sport was brought to the North East in the 1840s from Dumfriesshire very close to Kirkcudbright. It was known to have been played at the Stanks around this time.

Matches continued to be played by Berwick with clubs at Foulden, Reston and Melrose in the 1870s, and it is at this time the sport gained reasonable traction and patronage. The first firm mention of the Berwick Curling Pond near the North Road is in 1881 against Foulden again, and from this year the sport is very regularly mentioned in newspapers.

The pond was improved in the winter of 1898, and it was advertised in the local newspapers when they were providing sport on snappy cold days. In later decades matches were held for war relief funds, specifically for the Boer War in 1900.

Sadly, the pond had gone out of use in the 1920s, with the last reference in the 1920s after some years of inactivity. The pond is still preserved in the undergrowth and is clear on modern satellite imagery.
