Tennis Scotland is the official governing body of tennis in Scotland.[7] It was founded as the Scottish Lawn Tennis Association (SLTA) in 1895.[8] Tennis Scotland provides support to member clubs and organisations and promotes tennis participation and development. Tennis Scotland is also the governing body for padel in Scotland.

History

[edit]

The Scottish Lawn Tennis Association (SLTA) was founded in 1895, eight years after the Welsh Lawn Tennis Association (f,1887), and seven years after the Lawn Tennis Association (f.1888).[9] In 1977 Scottish Lawn Tennis Association dropped the word 'Lawn' and became the Scottish Tennis Association (STA).[10] The governing body is currently branded as Tennis Scotland.
