Scottish Toastmaster




The Association of Scottish Toastmasters which is the only organisation representing professional Toastmasters working in Scotland, was formed in the millennium year. The members, who have over one hundred years of experience between them, officiate at Royal and State occasions, weddings, banquets, dinners and many other formal and informal functions. The following year Scottish Toastmasters was officially launched on 21st March. A ceremony to mark the occasion was held in rooms adjacent to the Scottish Parliament and was attended by the patron The Rt Hon Lord Steel of Aikwood who presented each member with their distinctive 'millennium tartan' sash and certificate of enrolment.
