Fay Henderson and Grant Hardie, both experienced curlers, have taken on new roles as skips for their respective Scottish rinks. They will compete in the European Championships, seeking to improve on last year's silver and bronze medal finishes.
The Scottish women's team took silver and the men's team took bronze at the European Championships last year. This year, only three of the original 10 curlers will be involved.
