Venues
Edinburgh Sports Club and Oriam (Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh) are the hosts of the 2026 Scottish Junior Open. The decision of which age categories will be hosted by which venue will take place upon review of entries after the closing date by the tournament organisers.
All age group finals and 3rd/4th play-off matches as well as the medal presentation will take place at Oriam on Wednesday 30th December. All remaining play-off matches will likely remain at the venue which they started at but further information will be available throughout the competition.
