VENUEMASTERS Marketing Manager, Joanne Mitchell, commented; ‘There are some great facilities available at academic venues in Scotland for event organisers. Scotland also offers an amazing mix of historic traditions plus inspirational scenery and settings. It's easily accessible from across the UK with regular flights and trains plus good road networks. The four venues have all made developments to their campuses in recent years which is of direct benefit to event organisers, and there are also award wins and special offers to report. It's a good time to be considering Scotland for your next event.'
