Famous for Curler Player
Eve Muirhead is a Scottish curler. Muirhead is a four-time world junior champion, having won in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011. She curls out of the Curling Club in Dunkeld, a small town just north of Perth. Muirhead first appeared on the world curling scene at the 2007 World Junior Curling Championships in Eveleth, Minnesota, as a third with skip Sarah Reid, and won the gold medal.

At the 2008 Scottish junior women's championship Muirhead skipped her own team, winning all games, and thus qualifying for the next junior world championship. Muirhead was skip for the Scottish team at the 2008 World Junior Curling Championships in Ostersund, beating Sweden (skipped by Cecilia Ostlund) 12–3 in the final. Muirhead was selected as skip for the Great Britain Women's curling team at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada. After having won only three of nine round robin matches with cliff-hanger losses to the United States, Denmark and Canada, the team failed to qualify for the semi-finals. She also broke her broom on the ice, a major curling faux pas. Muirhead won the silver medal as the Scottish team skip at the 2010 Ford World Women's Curling Championship after losing 8–6 to Germany in the final, which went to an extra end.

The team finished the round robin matches in third place with an 8–3 record, then advanced to the final by winning the 3 vs. 4 page playoff against Sweden, and the semifinal against Canada, both games in 8 ends and on the same day. Her teammates were third Kelly Wood, second Lorna Vevers, lead Anne Laird and alternate Sarah Reid.
