Scotland, The Perfect Stage

Our events directorate bid for, invest in and support events in Scotland.

We work with partners to grow the Scottish events industry by developing our assets that are the cornerstone of our national strategy Scotland, The Perfect Stage.

The National Events Strategy

Entitled 'Scotland, The Perfect Stage', the national events strategy was produced following an extensive consultation involving the Scottish Government, VisitScotland, the Scottish Tourism Alliance and over 100 active participants from the public, private and third sectors.

The aim of the strategy is to engage, guide and support those involved in all aspects of planning, securing, supporting and delivering events within Scotland’s diverse portfolio, from events of international significance to those which help to support local communities in the country’s most remote locations.
