Snooker - Scottish Open
The invitational Scottish Masters had successfully been staged for many years before, but Scotland was granted its first ranking tournament of its own in 1998.
It only lasted for six seasons before being taken off the calendar. It returned, as one of the many PTC events, in 2012 but was then jettisoned again until being revived in December 2016 as part of the "Home Nations Series".
Since 2016 the winner lifts the Stephen Hendry Trophy.
The Scottish Open was staged in Aberdeen from 1998-2002 and Edinburgh in 2003. In 2012 it was held in Ravenscraig. Its home from 2016 to 2021 was the Emirates Arena, Glasgow apart from in 2020 when, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it was staged in a bio-secure "bubble" at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes, England.
From 2022 it found a new home at the Meadowbank Centre in Edinburgh.
