Shock as plans unveiled to close down Perth ice rink

Olympic gold medallist Eve Muirhead first took to the ice at the Dewar's Centre

Olympic champion curler Eve Muirhead says she’s shocked at plans to shut the Perth ice rink where she began her career.

The council plans to close the Dewar’s Centre, as well as Perth Leisure Pool and Bell’s Sports Centre and replace them with one facility.

Scottish Curling says the decision is ‘cataclysmic’ for the sport and that it’ll explore all options to keep curling in Perth.
