Scotland Loves Local Awards 2024
The winners of the Scotland Loves Local Awards 2024 have been announced, with Oban taking the crown of Scotland’s Town of the Year.
The Scotland Loves Local Awards are a celebration of all that is great about our nation’s towns and neighbourhoods – recognising and rewarding remarkable dedication, innovation and commitment towards shaping a sustainable, successful future with localism at its heart.
Now in their fourth year, the awards are about highlighting the people, places and projects which are leading the way in making a difference, delivering benefits which will help make our communities cleaner, greener, stronger and fairer whether through design, delivery or sheer determination.
Awards winners include eight fantastic High Street Heroes, one in each of the eight Scottish Parliament electoral regions.
The awards also celebrate the remarkable spirit of enterprise in our communities, digital innovation, those on the frontline of local responses to the climate emergency, the people embracing culture to drive change and organisations making our town centres great places to live as well as work and visit. They are all about the people who are the heart of why Scotland Loves Local.
A huge thank you to all our applicants and nominees, and many congratulations to our winners and finalists.
