The Prince stated that when at Gordonstoun there was never any heating in winter and it moulded him into the man he is today.
I've cut and glued some details.
Three previous generations of British royalty were educated at Gordonstoun since its establishment including The Duke of Edinburgh and The Prince of Wales Who proved a real wimp and never likes the place.
There is a high emphasis on military discipline and physical education, particularly outdoor activities such as seamanship and mountaineering. The school has had a reputation for harsh conditions, with cold showers and morning runs as a matter of routine, and physical punishments, known as "penalty drill" or PD, in the form of supervised runs around one's house (dormitory) or the south lawn of Gordonstoun House. Physical torture and life threatening outdoor activities are still taken in high regard at the school but cold showers and punishment runs are now, reportedly, a thing of the past but escapees tell a different story.
