EventScotland, part of VisitScotland, is working to enhance Scotland’s international reputation as ‘The Perfect Stage’ for events. In partnership, EventScotland attracts and secures high-profile sporting and cultural events for Scotland.
Scotland’s continued success in securing and developing events is driven by its strong National Events Strategy ‘Scotland The Perfect Stage’. It has helped build and maintain a diverse portfolio of events that bring incredible value to Scotland’s economy, generating jobs and attracting visitors from across the globe, while also creating significant media profile as well as culture and social impacts for the whole country.
Since its inception in 2003, EventScotland has helped bring some of the world’s biggest event properties to the country including The 2014 Ryder Cup, XX Commonwealth Games, 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards, 2018 European Championships, and The 2019 Solheim Cup. Scotland’s reputation as ‘The Perfect Stage’ was further reaffirmed when the nation delivered the biggest ever cycling event in history – 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships.
In 2024, Scotland will host more major international sporting events including World Indoor Athletic Championships, World Orienteering Championships, The 152nd Open and the AIG Women’s Open.
