- On Tuesday, January 20, Prince William, Prince of Wales and Princess Catherine, Princess of Wales visited Stirling and tried curling at the National Curling Academy with Team GB and Paralympics GB athletes.
- Kensington Palace said the visit aimed to spotlight Scottish heritage and community ties, including Radical Weavers’ tartan skills and fundraising for Scotland's proposed Tartan Centre.
