Scotlandhour June 2018 – European Championships
This August sees yet another first for Scotland when Glasgow co-hosts the inaugural European Championships with Berlin, as seven sports combine over eleven days, to deliver an amazing experience full of tense competition and ultimately Gold medal winning performances.
#Scotlandhour – Twitter’s first ever tourism chat no less – is delighted to be able to highlight this first ever event and showcase what Scotland has to offer to those coming to enjoy the Championships in Glasgow this summer.
The sports are kicking off on Thursday 2nd August and there is an action packed programme across the next 11 days with events like Gymnastics at the Hydro, Cycling at the Velodrome, Swimming at Tollcross, Rowing and Triathlon at Strathclyde Country Park (not at the same time as that would be silly of course!) and Open Water Swimming at Loch Lomond, and Gleneagles is hosting the Golf whilst there is also Diving taking place in Edinburgh – all things considered, a wide range of events and locations for people to visit and experience.
So with such an attractive and enticing event for people to enjoy, we thought it only right to see what other things we can add onto the “To Do” list for our visitors, and of course, have a little bit of fun as well!
Do join us for a great night talking about our country and what it has got to offer visitors and competitors alike and share your passion about this great place.
The questions are shown below, so do share and prepare ahead of the night itself.
