Duncan Scott took top honours as Scottish Sportsperson of the Year as the Scottish Sports Awards 2024, hosted by sportscotland and Team Scotland, celebrated the success of athletes, coaches, schools, clubs, and teams across the whole of Scottish sport at a star-studded event on Wednesday 4 December.
Over the course of the last year, Scottish athletes have achieved tremendous success on the world stage, while at home we have seen the huge impact on local communities where schools, clubs, community projects and people are making a difference in sport across in the country.
With historic performances at the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games from the likes of Duncan Scott MBE and Sammi Kinghorn MBE, as well as incredible life-changing work being done at grassroots in places like North Ayrshire Table Tennis Club and Newbattle High School, selecting winners for each category proved a difficult task for the judging panel.
The Sporting Moment of the Year Award (sponsored by the University of Edinburgh), voted for by the public, was awarded to the Glasgow Warriors Rugby Team winning the BTK United Rugby Championship, a historic moment in Scottish rugby.
The awards event was also an opportunity to celebrate the significant contribution of three sporting legends by inducting them into the Scottish Sport Hall of Fame – Dame Katherine Grainger DBE (Rowing), Colin Montgomerie OBE (Golf) and Jim Anderson OBE (Swimming).
Chair of sportscotland, Maureen Campbell, said: “A massive congratulations to all the winners at this year’s Scottish Sport Awards. There have been so many incredible achievements across Scottish Sport over the last twelve months and nights like these are a great chance to recognise and celebrate together.
“Every year the Scottish Sports Awards reminds us of the power of sport and its ability to inspire and unite everyone, whether it’s Scotland’s athletes performing on the world stage, or local communities working so hard to reduce inequalities in sport. It is evident, with this list of winners, that the success of the Scottish Sporting system is a result of talent, hard work and dedication across every level.”
Chair of Commonwealth Games Scotland, Ian Reid, said: “This has been a fantastic celebration of a remarkable year of sporting achievement, from the success of our Olympians and Paralympians in Paris to the many local heroes who continue to go above and beyond to help sport to flourish in clubs, schools and communities across Scotland.
“In the third year of our partnership with sportscotland to jointly host this inspirational event it continues to go from strength to strength – working together to celebrate the best of Scottish sport.
“Congratulations to all the winners and finalists, and a huge thank you to our partners and sponsors, whose support has made this special night possible.”

Scottish Sports Hall of Fame Inductees
Jim Anderson OBE, Colin Montgomerie OBE and Dame Katherine Grainger DBE
Dame Katherine Grainger DBE, Colin Montgomerie OBE and Jim Anderson OBE have been announced as the newest inductees in the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame.
All three Scottish athletes will be officially inducted into the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame at the Scottish Sports Awards 2024, hosted by sportscotland and Team Scotland, on Wednesday 4 December. The evening is dedicated to celebrating the success of individuals, schools, clubs, and teams across the whole of Scottish sport.
The Scottish Sports Hall of Fame was established by sportscotland in 2002 to recognise and honour the many great champions this country has produced. It has delivered on that ambition, enabling us to celebrate the achievements of Scotland’s finest athletes and role models and the impact they have on subsequent generations.
Inductees are decided by a panel of judges from across the sporting system who come together each year for the Scottish Sports Awards. There are currently 101 inductees after the most recent round of inductions, with Scottish Footballing legend, Julie Fleeting MBE and Scottish Shinty star Ronald Ross MBE joining the distinguished list last year.
The Hall of Fame stands as a tribute to the champions and the newest inductees are prime examples of Scottish Sporting champions.
Dame Katherine Grainger DBE is a distinguished former rower and prominent figure in British sports. She is the only British female athlete to win medals in five consecutive Olympic Games. Grainger’s Olympic journey began in 2000 at the Sydney Olympics, where she won a silver medal in the women’s quadruple sculls. She continued to excel, earning silver medals in Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008, before finally clinching gold at the London 2012 Olympics. She capped her Olympic career with another silver in Rio 2016. In addition to her Olympic success, Grainger is a six-time World Champion, with a total of eight World Championship medals to her name.
Beyond her athletic and academic pursuits, Grainger has made significant contributions to sports governance. She was appointed Chair of UK Sport in 2017, where she advocates for high-performance sports in the UK. Katherine is also the Honorary President of the Scottish Amateur Rowing Association, and her journey exemplifies the spirit of perseverance and excellence. Grainger’s legacy is not only defined by her medals but also by her commitment to inspiring future generations and promoting access to sports for all.
“As a proud Scot, it is an absolute honour to be inducted into the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame”, she said. “Sport has always played a huge role in my life. From giving me great enjoyment at a young age, to a long career and happy as an athlete on the world stage and now in my role as Chair of UK Sport, the impact it has had on me is momentous. I am incredibly thankful to be recognised in this way and to share the Hall of Fame with so many sporting heroes and iconic individuals that I deeply admire.”
Colin Montgomerie OBE is a legendary professional golfer renowned for his remarkable achievements on the European Tour and in the Ryder Cup. With 31 victories on the European Tour, ‘Monty’ holds the record for the most wins by any British golfer and ranks fourth all-time in European Tour history. His dominance is highlighted by his unprecedented eight European Tour Order of Merit titles, including a streak of seven consecutive wins from 1993 to 1999. Montgomerie’s legacy is cemented by his contributions to the Ryder Cup, making his debut in 1991. He played in eight Ryder Cups, famously leading the European team to victory as captain in 2010 at Celtic Manor.
The Scottish golfer is known as one of the greatest Ryder Cup players of all time and, to date he has been a member of the European team on eight occasions, never losing a singles match. His leadership and performances in the Ryder Cup have made him a beloved figure in the sport. Beyond his golfing achievements, Montgomerie is known for his charitable work and business ventures, including course design and his foundation supporting cancer care. His impact on the sport and his status as a role model for aspiring golfers make him a true icon in the world of golf.
“It means a lot for me to be inducted into the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame”, he said. It’s truly a great honour and when you see the other 101 inductees, it is a fabulous list and something I am very proud to be a part of. When you think about all of the Scottish success that we’ve had, given that we are such a small country. It’s great that my name will be there forever, and my grandchildren can see it up in lights.”
Jim Anderson OBE, affectionately known as “Jim the Swim,” is a celebrated Scottish former Paralympic swimmer whose remarkable career spanned two decades, during which he consistently performed at the highest levels of competition, making him a true icon in the world of para swimming. Over his impressive career, he represented Great Britain at six Paralympic Games from 1992 to 2012, securing a remarkable six gold medals. Four of Jim’s golds were won at a successful 2004 Athens Games, where he excelled in the 50m, 100m, and 200m freestyle, as well as the 50m backstroke. He also won two golds at the 1996 Atlanta Games.
Anderson’s achievements extend beyond the Paralympics; he has set two world records and four European records. Throughout his career, he amassed a staggering 57 medals across various competitions, including 17 medals at the Paralympics between 1992 and 2012 and 18 at World Championships from 1994 to 2010.
On hearing he was to be inducted he said: “I’m honoured, delighted and privileged to have been nominated to be part of the Hall of Fame.”
Find out more and see all inductees on the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame website.
Chair of Commonwealth Games Scotland, Ian Reid, said, “We are fortunate to have such a rich sporting history and pedigree as a nation, and Jim, Colin and Katherine join an illustrious group of athletes in the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame. They have inspired the nation for decades and paved the way for others to follow. We look forward to celebrating their achievements at the Scottish Sports Awards 2024.”
The Scottish Sports Awards 2024, hosted by sportscotland and Team Scotland, will take place on Wednesday 4 December, celebrating the success of individuals, schools, clubs, and teams across the whole of Scottish sport.
In another year packed with success for Scottish athletes on the international stage, competition will be fierce for the top awards. The schools, clubs, community projects and people making a difference in sport across Scotland will also be recognised in an event that will celebrate the best of Scottish sport.
Team Scotland and sportscotland are delighted to reveal the finalists for all 13 award categories at the Scottish Sports Awards 2024. Full list of finalists below.
As well as the 13 categories listed, the winners in the Female Athlete, Male Athlete, Para Female Athlete, and Para Male Athlete categories will contest for the overall title of Scotland’s Sportsperson of the Year and the evening will also welcome the latest inductees to the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame.
Former Scottish footballer and ambassador for women’s football in Scotland, Julie Fleeting MBE and Kingussie shinty star Ronald Ross MBE (the most successful player in the sport’s history) were inducted in 2023.
Chair of sportscotland, Maureen Campbell, said: “Every year the judging panel have an incredibly difficult job of narrowing down the shortlist of finalists for each award category, and this year was no different. Over the past year we have witnessed the hard work and dedication of athletes, coaches, volunteers and clubs across the country, which makes for an exciting, albeit difficult, job in selecting this year’s finalists.
“The Scottish Sports Awards provide us with a wonderful opportunity to come together to recognise and celebrate both the success and effort of the people who make sport happen. It’s going to be a wonderful celebration of the power of sport.”
Chair of Commonwealth Games Scotland, Ian Reid CBE, said: “2024 has been another fantastic year for sport in Scotland, with athletes succeeding on the international stage and inspiring those of us watching at home or in the stands.
“There’s also an incredible amount of good work being done day in day out at schools and clubs across the country, and we look forward to celebrating all of those achievements at the Scottish Sports Awards in December.”
This year the awards, will once again be held at the Glasgow Science Centre and IMAX where the winners’ stories will be shared on the biggest screen in Scotland.

The Scottish Sports Awards 2023, hosted by sportscotland and Team Scotland, took place on Thursday 7 December where the success of individuals, schools, clubs, and teams across the whole of Scottish sport were honoured in an event that celebrated the best of Scottish sport.
Over the course of the last year, Scottish athletes have delivered tremendous success on the world stage, while at home we have seen the huge impact on local communities where schools, clubs, community projects and people are making a difference in sport across Scotland.
Selecting the winners was an exceptionally difficult task this year with historic performances from athletes like Beth Potter, Josh Kerr and Team Scotland’s Trinbago 2023 Rugby 7s, and life-changing work in local communities working hard to make sport and physical activity truly inclusive through winners like Active Life Club in Glasgow and Oaklands School in Edinburgh.
It was also an opportunity to celebrate the significant contribution of two sporting legends by inducting them into the Scottish Sport Hall of Fame – Julie Fleeting (football) and Ronald Ross (shinty).
Chair of sportscotland, Mel Young, said: “A huge congratulations to all the winners at this year’s Scottish Sport Awards. It has been a real celebration of the whole sporting system and recognition of the talent, hard work and dedication it takes to have an impact at every level.
“Every year the Scottish Sports Awards provide us with a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the power of sport and its ability to bring the nation together as Scotland’s athletes perform on the world stage, and to support the communities working so hard to reduce inequalities. Every winner at this year’s awards is truly deserving of recognition and celebration and I hope their achievements will inspire more people to embrace sport for life.”
Chair of Commonwealth Games Scotland, Ian Reid, said: “This has been a fantastic celebration of a remarkable year of sporting achievement, both from our elite athletes flying the flag at major events and behind the scenes in clubs, schools and communities across Scotland.
“It has been great to continue our partnership with sportscotland to jointly host this inspirational event – working together to celebrate sport across Scotland, from the successes on the global stage to the many local heroes who continue to go above and beyond to help Scottish sport to flourish.

St Andrew’s Day marks just one week to go until the 2023 Scottish Sports Awards where some of Scotland’s top sporting names will have a chance to add to their accolades, named as finalists in the Athlete of the Year categories after a year of inspiring performances at the highest level.
Awards will be made for Male, Female, and Para Athlete of the Year, with the winners of each going forward to be in with a chance of lifting the Lonsdale Trophy and the overall title of Scottish Sportsperson of the Year.
In the Male category middle-distance runner Josh Kerr, whose stand out moment of the year was taking World Championships 1500m gold ahead of Norwegian favourite Jacob Ingebritsen, is shortlisted alongside Robert MacIntyre, the first Scottish golfer since 2014 to make the Ryder Cup team and unbeaten on his debut as the Europeans regained the trophy, and swimmer Duncan Scott, who took a full set of gold, silver and bronze at the World Championships in Japan.
Seonaid McIntosh, winner of the Lonsdale Trophy in 2019, joins Katie Archibald and Beth Potter on the shortlist for Female Athlete of the Year. Seonaid’s outstanding performances included European silver and becoming the first British athlete ever to win gold in an ISSF Air Rifle event, Beth won both the Olympic Test event and the World Triathlon Series title in a breakthrough season and Katie showed incredible tenacity to top the podium at World and European Championships on the back of an unbelievably difficult year.
Stephen Clegg was in world record breaking form, becoming the first athlete to break 28 seconds for the 50m Backstroke and winning gold and two silver at the World Para-Swimming Championships. Neil Fachie added three gold medals with pilot Matt Rotherham at the UCI Cycling World Championships to bring his career tally to an impressive 19, while Samantha Kinghorn was on top form at the World Para-Athletics Championships, winning four medals including T53 100m gold, setting a championship record and holding off the challenge of World Record holder Catherine Debrunner of Switzerland. The three make up a string shortlist for Para Athlete of the Year.
Scotland’s rising stars are recognised with the award of Young Athlete of the Year and this year’s shortlist showcases some already making their mark at senior level. 18-year-old Kirsty Muir earned two X Games bronze medals, beating Olympic medallist Mathilde Gremaud by a point in the women’s ski big air and adding a second bronze in the slopestyle event. Ben Sandilands took gold in the T20 1500m at the World Para Athletics Championships, beating senior opposition at the age of just 19, breaking his own European record and setting a new championship record, while swimmer Matthew Ward took bronze in the 200m Individual Medley at the European Juniors, before becoming Scotland’s record medallist at the Commonwealth Youth Games with seven medals: four gold and three silver.
The winners will be announced a week today in front of a capacity audience at the Glasgow Science Centre, alongside winners in eight other categories: Sporting Moment, Team, Coach, Club, School, Community Hero, Sustainability and Governing Body.
The glittering ceremony will also see two new additions to the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame, bringing the total number of Scottish sporting legends recognised in this way to over 100.

Ten top Scottish sporting moments have been shortlisted by our judges, with the winner to be determined by an online public vote. The award will go to the sporting performance over the last 12 months that has captured the hearts of the nation.
Will it be Duhan van der Merwe’s sensational try against England in the Six Nations Calcutta Cup victory, Caledonia Gladiators’ buzzer-beating win in the British Basketball League Trophy final, Glasgow City’s last-minute title-winner at Ibrox in the Scottish Women’s Premier League, Scotland’s 7-wicket victory over West Indies in the ICC World Cup Qualifier or Scotland’s late win over Norway in the Men’s UEFA European Championships Qualification match in Oslo that takes the title?
Or perhaps one of the standout moments as Scottish athletes claimed global titles: Beth Potter’s championship-winning performance at the World Triathlon Championships Finals in Pontevedra, Spain, Josh Kerr’s World Championship-winning finish in the World Athletics Championship 1500m Final, Fin Graham’s sixth medal of the UCI World Cycling Championships, defending his C3 Road Race title in the Scottish rain, Team Mouat’s World Championship win over host nation Canada or Sammi Kinghorn’s World Para Athletics Championship gold medal win, defeating both the defending champion and Paralympic champion.
