The '''Scotland Sevens''' was a rugby sevens tournament that was part of the Sevens World Series. In the 2014-15 season it was the penultimate event of the Sevens World Series circuit. It was first held in 2007 but has been removed from the series from the 2015-16 season.
Between 2007 and 2011 the tournament was held at Murrayfield in Edinburgh, then moving to Scotstoun Stadium in Glasgow from 2012.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/13056099.party-time/ |title=Party time |first=Alasdair |last=Reid |work=The Herald |location=Glasgow |date=29 April 2012|access-date=12 April 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.irbsevens.com/destination/edition=10/news/newsid=2060849.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120107185546/http://www.irbsevens.com/destination/edition=10/news/newsid=2060849.html |url-status=usurped |archive-date=7 January 2012 |title=World Series moves to Glasgow |publisher=irbsevens.com |date=9 December 2011|access-date=15 September 2014}}</ref> The agreement to host the tournament in Glasgow between the World Rugby, which operates the Sevens World Series, and the Scottish Rugby Union ran from 2012 for at least 3 years.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/features/features-editors-picks/flying-the-flag-we-all-have-a-ball-at-lucky-sevens.17174123 |title=Flying the flag: We all have a ball at lucky sevens! |publisher=Evening Times |date=30 March 2012 |access-date=15 September 2014}}</ref> The event was replaced in the World Sevens series by the France Sevens event from 2015–16 and will not return to the series until 2019 at the earliest.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Lamont|first1=Alasdair|title=Scotland to lose IRB Sevens host role to France|work=BBC Sport |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/29705899|access-date=22 September 2015}}</ref>
