Pride Scotia was Scotland's national community-based LGBT Pride festival alternating between the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, held in June from its beginnings in 1995 until 2008, when it split into separate organisations.

Between 1995 and 2002, the pride marches were organised by Pride Scotland Limited, until it went bust in December 2002 with debts of around £60,000. A new organisation, AL D ltd was founded in 2003 to continue the tradition of the annual march and festival. This organisation changed its name to Pride Scotia (Edinburgh) in 2004 and a separate organisation Pride Scotia (Glasgow) was created with the two organisations organising Pride Scotia in their respective cities in alternate years thereafter. Pride Scotia Edinburgh is a company limited by guarantee whilst Pride Glasgow is now a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation. In 2008, the Glasgow arm of the organisation announced it was splitting completely, and has since used the name Pride Glasgow.
