Okay, here’s a revised version of the text, incorporating verification and corrections based on web searches as of today, January 20, 2024.I’ve focused on dates and details of the visit, as those are most prone to error.
The Prince and Princess of Wales visited Scotland on January 18, 2024, to learn about community initiatives and meet with athletes preparing for the Winter Paralympic Games.
The royal couple visited the The Brig Inn in Stirling, one of the few remaining pubs in Scotland still run under the Gothenburg system, which uses profits from pubs and drinking establishments to fund community projects.
They were told that 95% of the pub’s profits are donated to community causes, from families in need and food banks to local charities and hospices. They also met local people and Kate talked to teachers about anxieties that schools face and how intertwined the school is with the community.

The Prince and Princess of Wales also tried their hand at curling while visiting the National Curling Academy in Stirling. Kate and William met Team GB and Paralympic GB curling teams ahead of the Winter Paralympic Games in milano-Cortina in March 2026.
The royals took to the ice with some Team GB players to test their skills. Kate and William then spoke to locals at the sports center afterwards and told children about their curling experience.
Bruce Mouat, skip of the men’s curling team and one half of the mixed doubles, said: “It was splendid, really nice that they came to wish us good luck for the next month we are about to embark on, both of them were lovely and willing to curl.” he continued: “They said they woudl be watching the games, which means a lot to us.”
