One of snooker's major tournaments - the Grand Prix - will be staged in Aberdeen for the first time in October.
The World Snooker Tour ranking event will be held at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre from October 21 to 29.
Graeme Dott, who beat Peter Ebdon in the Crucible final last month to win the 888.com World Snooker Championship, was present at today's launch at the AECC and said: "Snooker is so popular in Scotland and we have produced a lot of great players so it's really important there is a major tournament here and this is excellent news."
