The world ranking event was staged at the Meadowbank Sports Centre for the first time, and it was the first professional snooker event in Edinburgh since 2003. The venue hosted the Commonwealth Games in both 1970 and 1986.
The Scottish Open is one of the season’s Home Nations Series, alongside the Northern Ireland Open, Scottish Open and Welsh Open.
WST Chairman Steve Dawson said: “We know how disappointed the Scottish fans and players were to miss out on a tournament in their homeland last year, so we are extremely pleased to move the event to Edinburgh this time. There is such a rich history of great snooker players from Scotland and we know the fans love our sport.”
Donald Goldsmith, Manager at the new Meadowbank Sports Centre, said: “We’re delighted to be hosting the Scottish Open at the newly refurbished Meadowbank Sports Centre. Meadowbank has been an important part of Scotland’s sporting history for many years and our new Centre will build on this legacy.”
