Scottish Championship

Also/previously known as: Scottish Band Association Contest

Prior to World War Two, this contest existed as a standalone Scottish Championship. From 1945 to 1950, Scottish entries to the <a href="http://brassbandresults.co.uk/contests/GREAT-BRITAIN-NATIONAL-FINALS/">National Championship of Great Britain</a> were determined by the results of that year's <a href="http://brassbandresults.co.uk/contests/SCOTTISH-AREA-DAILY-HERALD-QUALIFYING-CONTEST/">Scottish Area (Daily Herald Qualifying) Contest</a>. From 1951 to 1958, they were determined by the results of the previous year's Scottish Championships, and from 1959 onwards, they have been determined by the results of the same year's Scottish Championships, with the exception of 1965, 1969, and 1970, in which years separate regional qualifying contests were again run.

The first Scottish Championship was run in 1895, in two sections; the third section was added in 1905, and the fourth section in 1925. The contest has been run annually without interruption, barring the war years 1915-18 and 1939-44, and also 1958, which was omitted when the contest was moved from late in the year in 1957 to early in the year in 1959 in order to better mesh with the National Championship contesting structure.
