Career

Scotland's first breakout event was at the 2011 Canadian Junior Curling Championships, where she represented Team Alberta. She skipped the team to an 11–1 round robin record before losing the final to Saskatchewan's Trish Paulsen. She also skipped the team in 2010 at the 2010 Canadian Junior Curling Championships where they lost in the tiebreaker. When she was just 16, she skipped Alberta to a 3–3 record at the 2007 Canada Winter Games. She was the alternate for the Canadian team skipped by Jocelyn Peterman at the 2012 World Junior Curling Championships where they also lost in the tiebreaker.

Scotland won her first World Curling Tour event in 2013 at the Spruce Grove Cashspiel as third for Amy Nixon.[3]

The 2016–17 season was a breakout season for Scotland and her team of Heather Jensen, Becca Konschuh and Heather Rogers. They won four tour events: the Avonair Cash Spiel, the Crestwood Ladies Fall Classic, the Red Deer Curling Classic and the Curl Mesabi Classic and lost the final of the Medicine Hat Charity Classic. At the 2017 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the team lost the C Event semifinal and were eliminated.

The team defended their title at the Avonair Cash Spiel the following season, going undefeated throughout the tournament.[4] They once again lost in the C semifinal at the 2018 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts, this year to Laura Walker. Team Scotland also got to compete at the 2017 Canadian Olympic Curling Pre-Trials where they lost in the quarterfinal to Julie Tippin.

Scotland joined the Walker team for the 2019–20 season. The team consisted of Walker at skip, Kate Cameron at third, Taylor McDonald at second and Scotland playing lead. They won two tour events, the Moth Club Fall Curling Classic and the DEKALB Superspiel. They also lost the final of the Curl Mesabi Classic and had quarterfinal finishes at the Canad Inns Women's Classic and the Boundary Ford Curling Classic. They competed in two Grand Slam of Curling events where they missed the playoffs at both the Tour Challenge Tier 2 and the Canadian Open. Scotland won her first provincial title at the 2020 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts where team Walker went undefeated through the event to win the provincial crest. Team Walker represented Alberta at the 2020 Scotties Tournament of Hearts where they finished with a 3–4 record, missing the playoffs. It would be the team's last event of the season as both the Players' Championship and the Champions Cup Grand Slam events were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]

Personal life

Scotland works as a Communications and special events manager for the Special Olympics Calgary. She is married to Ian Scotland.[2]
