General notes:
Quoiting was very popular up to the First World War but declined in the second half of the 20th century. There are mentions of the Barrhead Quoiting Club dating to the early years of the 20th century. The game used circular rings of iron, fairly heavy in weight, that were thrown at a peg with the object of landing round or near the peg. Like bowling or curling, the nearest quoit to the peg won the game.
