2003 STRATHCONA CUP
SCOTTISH TOUR OF CANADA
The Canadian Curling Association (CCA) has invited the Royal Caledonia Curling club of Scotland (RCCC) to assemble a Men’s Curling Tour of Canada in January 2003 to compete for the Strathcona Cup, on of the oldest curling competitions in existence. The Scots have accepted this invitation and will be touring Canada from January 8th to January 31st.
This also marks the 100th anniversary of the first visit of Scottish curlers to North America.

winner of the Cup is the country scoring the most points during the month long
