I had to find out more, and this site says it's just onions and tomatoes (and more worryingly that one small island is the source of granite for curling stones. Is there enough....?)

(sorry for non-potato-related confusion. You say potato, I say tomato, let's curl the whole thing off)

I think so. And ...I have an Ailsa Craig granite curling stone. Not sure how it ended up in my GF's pub in Dorset, after which it held grandma's garden gate open for 40 years, but it's now moved back north to the Scottish Borders. Totally forgot about it till you mentioned it! Here you go...

Granite curling stone, probably from Ailsa Craig. Bird dropping probably not from Ailsa Craig
