Miss Scotland gives advice for those hoping to take part in the next pageant

Miss Scotland has given her advice for those hoping to take part in the next pageant.

Speaking at Kincraig Castle Hotel, the current winner, Chelsie Allison told those who are hoping to apply for the next competition to ‘just be themselves’.

The retail manager - and current Miss Scotland - represented the nation at the 71st Miss World competition in February in India as she went up against over 100 women from across the world.

Chelsie was also getting a photoshoot at the luxury hotel, which has been dubbed as ‘her castle’.

Kincraig Castle Hotel owner, Ruchir Gupta said: “I’ve been working with Miss Scotland to make this ‘her castle.’ She’s been in doing Highland dancing and her mum has been helping with the horses as she runs an equestrian centre.

“We’re glad that she was able to use our hotel as a base for getting photos.

“We will hopefully be hosting a Miss UK event with all four regions of the UK being represented at the hotel.”
