Kate Middleton and Prince William are game for a trip to Scotland.

The Duke and the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge traveled from London to Glasgow Thursday morning to pay a visit to Emirates Arena as well as the city's Chris Hoy Velodrome, where cyclists were training in order to launch a new initiative for their charity.

Kate stunned in a short blue-and-gray tartan coat, which covered her ever-expanding baby bump, along with black knee-high boots, while William looked dapper in a navy-blue suit and maroon tie.

At Emirates stadium, one of the venues for the 2014 Commonwealth Games, the royal couple met with various athletes as well as mascot Clive the Thistle, who delighted them with a dance.

Per U.K.'s Mirror, Will and Kate were in town to help unveil a pilot program for their royal foundation intended to foster a new generation of young sports coaches.

After that, the couple stopped by a homeless charity and reportedly had a Skype conversation with two homeless people from the shelter who were in Holland on an exchange program.
