description Miss Scotland Overview
Miss Scotland is a national beauty pageant and title representing Scotland in international pageantry. From 1961 through 1990, its winners competed at Miss Universe; after Scottish devolution, Scotland began entering Miss World independently, with the first such participation taking place in 1999. The competition is therefore linked to different international systems across its history and is intended for contestants seeking to represent Scotland on an international stage.
