The 2019 Women's Tour of Scotland was the inaugural and only edition of the Women's Tour of Scotland, a women's cycling stage race held in Scotland, UK. It was run from 9 to 11 August 2019. The race was scheduled for 3 stages, covering a total of 359.2 kilometres (223.2 miles), but the race's opening stage was abandoned due to adverse weather conditions. It was classified as a class 2.1 event by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI).

The race was won by American rider Leah Thomas, riding for the Bigla Pro Cycling team. Having finished fourth in the second stage in Perth – won by Canada's Alison Jackson (Tibco–Silicon Valley Bank) – Thomas won the final stage in an eight-rider sprint at Holyrood Park in Edinburgh, and with bonus seconds accumulated at intermediate sprints during the day, Thomas assumed the leader's jersey from Jackson by five seconds. The podium was completed by Norwegian rider Stine Borgli, riding for a Norwegian national team, a further two seconds back, after two third-place stage finishes.

The Bigla Pro Cycling team won the other three jerseys that were on offer during the race. Thomas was the winner of the points classification alongside her general classification victory, while the team's leader Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig led the mountains classification from start-to-finish, and Nikola Nosková was the winner of the young rider classification, after a ninth-place finish on the final stage allowed her to take the jersey from Rally UHC Cycling's Emma White. The best Scottish rider during the race was Scottish junior national road race champion Anna Shackley, who finished in thirteenth place overall.

History

The first and only edition was held in 2019 as a 2.1 category race on the UCI women's road cycling calendar. The event folded when the organizers, Zeus Sports, ceased trading having failed to pay debts following the 2019 event.
