Organised by leading trade publication, the Scottish Licensed Trade News, and launched in 1996, the SLTN Awards is the premier awards scheme for the Scottish hospitality industry.

From the modest inaugural event, where eight trophies were presented, to the comprehensive, industry-wide awards scheme of the present day, the SLTN Awards has always been about celebrating the very best operators and venues in Scottish hospitality.
