The Canada-Scotland Women’s Curling Friendship tour is celebrating 70 years of tradition. Two teams each from Canada and the U.S. visited Scotland on the inaugural circuit in 1955. Visits are exchanged every five years.

When the Royal Caledonian Curling Club of Scotland hosts the event, 24 Canadian women visit Scotland for three weeks.

The Scottish women rotate between regions of Canada when they visit every five years. The last time the tour visited B.C. was in 1995.
