Introduction

Douglas Dryburgh (born 30 January 1966 in Kirkcaldy, Scotland) is an olympic curler.

Dryburgh was a successful junior curler in his native Scotland. In his first international tournament, Dryburgh and his Scottish team claimed a gold medal at the 1987 World Junior Curling Championships. Later that year he skipped the Scottish team to a sixth-place finish at the European Curling Championships.

Ten years later, Dryburgh was back at the European Championships where he claimed a bronze medal for Scotland. In 1998 he skipped the British team at the 1998 Winter Olympics. They finished in seventh place.
