Hi Alison, they play for the Strathcona Cup. Every 10 years a Scottish team go over to Canada and every 10 years the Canadians come over to Scotland. (In other words every 5 years there is a match) The Strathcona Cup itself never leaves these shores, even tho' Canada win. They just take the glory home with them. There will be records if you really wanted to know, at the Royal Caledonian Curling Club headquarters at Ingleston, Edinburgh. They don't play under the clan titles now tho, but they have a uniform blazer. They tour either North or South Scotland, (East or West Canada) and it lasts for 3 weeks. There is also a tour of America and Switzerland, (or at least Europe) Diana
