We have won a Holiday from Hospitality Scotland, but we have to go to a 2 Hour show before we can claim it, I think they are going to try and sell me a Timeshare, but I might be wrong.
Anyone else come across this company.

Yeah, they will, and it will be a seriously hard sell. Can you claim the holiday after attending whether or not you agree to buy into the scheme?
My husband and I won a holiday in Lanzarote like this once, except that we got the flights and a week's accommodation totally free and had to attend a hard sell out there. And it really was a hard sell, whatever objection we came up with, they had a way to overrule them, it was only because we told them that both our sets of parents owned homes in two different parts of Spain and that we had friends all over the world who we holidayed with for free that shut them up in the end. But the couple we went with felt really pressurised.
One way of getting the holiday is to say that you are absolutely not prepared to commit to anything, even discuss it, until you see the resort. That way you should get the holiday. But believe me, it will be two hours of hard sell by some very experienced sales people.
Saying that, they did eventually, after nearly an hour, accept defeat with us, and I guess they realise that they are not going to hook everybody, so if you feel that you can be strong enough, go for it.
At the end of the day, you can always walk out of the presentation if it gets too much, though you may not get the holiday.

There is no such thing as a free holiday. They will use aggressive selling techniques and forget being there for 2 hours - more like 6 or 8. They will try all sorts of ploys to get your signature and bank details and you will be the loser at the end of the day.

If you want to claim your "FREE" holiday then go and attend - but think about this first. Nothing in life is ever FREE - they will give you a hardsell - They are crooks and they are out to con you big time. If you take a loan with them to pay off for any timeshare holiday that you buy from them and then you decide not to go ahead with it - they can repossess you house and leave you homeless.
If you can afford to book a late deal somewhere you will get cheap holidays from all the big companies with no strings attached.
