The Prince and Princess of Wales took a day trip to Scotland, visiting Stirling and Falkirk to spotlight “unique Scottish heritage traditions” and meeting with locals to learn about their communities. The Prince and Princess started the day with a photo opportunity at Andy Scott’s Kelpies, an iconic Clydesdale sculpture in Grangemouth, Scotland.
Their first engagement of the day was a visit to the National Curling Academy, where they met with Team GB and Paralympics GB Curling teams ahead of the upcoming Winter Olympic Games and Winter Paralympic Games. The sport of curling can be traced back to 16th century Scotland, and Prince William and Princess Kate wanted to highlight the sport’s Scottish roots. The Prince and Princess tried their hand at the sport, attempting not to slide across the ice, with Princess Kate's team winning the competition.
