Speaking about the awards, Steven Walker, Chair of the Scottish Thistle Awards industry panel said: “Congratulations to all of the winners at the Lothian & Borders Regional Final of the Scottish Thistle Awards. The Scottish Thistle Awards shine a spotlight on the very best of Scotland’s tourism and events industry, celebrating the businesses and individuals who have worked tirelessly in the last two years to create the fantastic destination and visitor experiences that Scotland is famous for.

“The Scottish Thistle Awards mark an important celebration as we move towards recovery from the pandemic and support the ambition of Outlook 2030, for Scotland to be a world leader in 21st century tourism.

“I wish the regional winners the best of luck as they continue to the Scottish Thistle Awards National Final next year.”
