Prince William and Kate Middleton's visit to Rothesay
One of the couple’s first stops was Bute Shinty Club in Rothesay. The club has long been part of the island’s community, with volunteers helping to keep the traditional Scottish sport alive across generations. William and Kate met people associated with the club, including players, former players and volunteers, while learning about its role beyond sport as a place where members of the community come together.
The Prince and Princess of Wales also visited the community-owned Anchor Tavern in Port Bannatyne. The pub has become an example of residents coming together to preserve an important part of local life after it was saved by the community following its closure. The visit formed part of William and Kate’s wider focus on how community spaces, volunteering and everyday connections can help bring people together.
