The Scottish Open is a ranking professional snooker tournament held in the United Kingdom.
In the 2012/2013 season the tournament was added back to the calendar as part of the Players Tour Championship minor-ranking series.
The tournament began in 1981 as the International Open at the Assembly Rooms in Derby, and became the following year the second ranking event after the World Championship.
The International Open name returned the following year and the sponsorship was overtaken by BCE (1986 and 1989) and Fidelity Unit Trusts (1987 and 1988).
