Interesting Dougie, though FM titles and IM norms would not have been sufficient to get a Scottish Masters awarded.
That required an IM title. The other conditions were 3 wins of the Scottish or a grade of over 220, in old money, maintained over 3 years, subject to conditions.
Would it perhaps be more a lack of players meeting the conditions?
Perhaps it could be revived for Juniors achieving certain standards at FIDE rated events.
