Entrants must hold a British passport to enter. The contest, whose title is owned by the Miss World organisation, is organised each year by The Scottish Sun newspaper. The winner of the Miss Scotland competition, along with the winners of Miss England, Miss Northern Ireland and Miss Wales, can compete in Miss World. The highest-ranking competitor of the four constituent country entrants is then presented with the title and crown of Miss United Kingdom, who will later compete in Miss International. HistoryFrom 1961-1990, the winner of Miss Scotland would go on to compete at the Miss Universe pageant, usually held in the summer. She would then compete, along with the winners of Miss England, Miss Wales and Miss Northern Ireland, plus other top contenders from the regional competitions, at the Miss United Kingdom Pageant, with the winner of Miss UK going on to compete at the Miss World pageant in November. During the 90s there would be no Miss Scotland at Miss Universe. In 1999, after Scottish devolution, Miss Scotland was allowed to enter the Miss World pageant. The first Miss Scotland to compete at Miss World was Stephanie Norrie, she competed alongside Miss Wales, who was Clare Daniels and Nicola Willoughby, who won the last ever Miss United Kingdom pageant that year. Miss England and Miss Northern Ireland first competed at Miss World in 2000. Since then, the highest ranking of the four UK contestants has won the Miss United Kingdom title. In recent years the Miss UK titleholder has also been offered the chance to participate at the following years Miss International pageant, as Miss UK. In the 21st century, the Miss Scotland contest has enjoyed a high profile with sponsorship from the Scottish Sun newspaper. Miss Scotland has also been the most successful of the four UK nations at Miss World. Since 2000, the Miss UK title has gone to Miss Scotland seven times (Wales has 3 wins, England 2 and Northern Ireland 2). Titleholders- colorkey
