Scottish Thistle Awards

The Scottish Thistle Awards are delivered in partnership with the Highlands & Islands Thistle Awards (HITA), the Aberdeen City and Shire Thistle Awards, and the South of Scotland Thistle Awards, supported by a panel of industry representatives.

For over 25 years the Scottish Thistle Awards have been honouring individuals, businesses, partnerships, and events for their innovation, excellence, and success in the hospitality and tourism sector.

The Scottish Thistle Awards is based on 5 regional programmes. The regions that make up the regional programmes are:
