Confirmed: DP World Tour event to be held at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire in August
The Scottish Championship will take place at the Balmedie course from August 7-10.
It will be the first time the Tour has visited Trump International Golf Links Scotland, which hosted the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship in both 2023 and 2024 and will do so again from July 30 to August 3, the week prior to the Scottish Championship.
That means there will be back-to-back tournaments at the links course designed by Martin Hawtree which opened in 2012.
Guy Kinnings, CEO of the DP World Tour, said: 'Trump International Golf Links Scotland has already earned a reputation as one of the best modern links courses in the UK and it promises to be an excellent venue for the return of the Scottish Championship to our schedule.'

Eric Trump, executive vice president of The Trump Organisation, said: 'We are honoured to host the Scottish Championship on the DP World Tour at our iconic property.
'2025 is an incredible year for Trump International, Scotland, as we proudly welcome two world-class tournaments and celebrate the highly anticipated grand opening of our new championship links course.
'This significant milestone reflects the hard work of our team and is a true testament to the exceptional golf and hospitality we deliver in Scotland.'
The Scottish Championship was last played in October 2020 when Adrian Otaegui finished four shots clear of Matt Wallace at Fairmont St Andrews.

Rangers welcome Alloa Athletic to Ibrox this weekend as they begin their Premier Sports Cup campaign with a last-16 clash at Ibrox on Saturday evening. Russell Martin's side have endured a torrid start to their domestic campaign, with 1-1 draws against both Motherwell and Dundee cementing their worst start to a league campaign since 1989. However, the Gers' attention will now turn to the cup as they look to progress to the quarter-final stage of a competition they have won only once in the last 14 seasons. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The Rangers head coach is expected to make plenty of changes for the game, with a Champions League qualifier against Club Brugge to come next week, meaning the likes of Oscar Cortes, Nedim Bajrami, and Connor Barron could be handed their first starts of the season. Cyriel Dessers, Max Aarons, Thelo Aasgaard and Hamza Igamane are all doubts for the game. Alloa boss Andy Graham will be hoping to spring a surprise in Govan and plunge the home side into further dismay, though he will likely have to do it without a trio of first-team players. Scott Taggart, Daniel Church, and Andy Clarke are all expected to miss the game against Rangers. Ahead of the game, we look at who the Scottish FA has confirmed as the match officials for Saturday's game at Ibrox: Rangers are expected to be without Cyriel Dessers for this weekend's game against Alloa Athletic at Ibrox. | Getty Images Who is the referee for Rangers v Alloa Athletic? The man in the middle for this weekend's game will be Dan McFarlane, who has officiated in the Scottish Premiership, Scottish Championship and Premier Sports Cup in recent years.

During the 2024/25 season, Wilson handed out a total of 26 yellow cards (an average of 3.25 per game), and three red cards (0.38 per game).

UK roadshow to champion impact of local small businesses
Small Business Saturday's month-long UK roadshow is set to return as it announces plans to visit over 20 towns and cities across the country to celebrate the nation's vibrant small business community. Launching this autumn in Scotland - with stops in Lossiemouth, Aberdeenshire, and Edinburgh - 'The Tour' will spotlight some of the UK's most inspiring local businesses. Backed by BT it aims to recognise the vital role of small businesses in boosting local economies, creating jobs, and supporting communities. The nationwide journey will then continue across the rest of the UK throughout November, visiting towns and cities including Belfast, Manchester, Durham, Preston, Carlisle, Derby, Grimsby, Wrexham, Hereford, Newport, Plymouth, Salisbury, Cambridge, and London. In the lead-up to Small Business Saturday, 'The Tour' will shine a light on business owners, their stories, and the incredible local communities at the heart of the UK's 5.45 million small businesses, celebrating their critical contribution to the economy. Planned stops include visiting a range of small businesses, from a cycling adventure firm in Scotland and luxury handmade chocolatier in the North of England, to bakeries in Wales, and a shoe repair business in the South. "Being part of the Small Business Saturday Tour 2024 was such a fabulous experience! We loved welcoming the team, giving our brand more exposure and meeting so many other inspiring small businesses along the way," said Carol Jackson, Owner of ELJ Drinks Ltd. "The Tour is a fabulous celebration of entrepreneurial spirit, culminating in Small Business Saturday and we can't wait to be part of the magic again in 2025! If the tour is heading your way, don't miss it. Get involved, show up, and soak up the support, energy and wider community. You'll love it!" Small Business Saturday is a grassroots, non-commercial campaign that celebrates small business success and encourages consumers to 'shop local' and support businesses in their communities. Taking place this year on 6 December, Small Business Saturday is backed by its principal supporter American Express. Now in its thirteenth year, Small Business Saturday has engaged millions of shoppers and helped generate billions of pounds in spending at small businesses across the UK. Coinciding with the roadshow, the campaign will also feature a full month of free online support for small businesses all over the UK. This includes daily workshops, mentoring sessions, and insight events featuring small business owners and industry experts. "Small Business Saturday is all about championing the incredible entrepreneurs who bring passion, innovation, and heart to communities across the UK," said Michelle Ovens CBE, director of Small Business Saturday UK. The Tour gives us the opportunity to hit the road and engage directly with the nation's favourite small businesses, celebrating their unique stories and the essential role they play in strengthening local economies. We're excited to begin this next chapter and highlight the creativity and resilience that make small businesses the foundation of our communities." With the roadshow expected to cover around 3,000 miles, 'The Tour' will continue to use electric vehicles to reduce emissions and showcase the sustainable choices many small business owners are making on the journey toward net zero. 'Small businesses are vital to the UK economy, and providing entrepreneurs with the right support is crucial to their success,' said Chris Sims, Chief Commercial Officer, UK Business, at BT. "The Tour offers a great platform to engage with small businesses across the country, delivering tailored advice and resources to help them grow and adapt. This is an important initiative that allows businesses to connect for good, strengthening local communities and fostering innovation and resilience across the economy.'
