GALLERY - 75 photos below

Over the years the Awards Night Party has given us some great memories – and some wonderful photography is a pleasure to have both for personal pleasure and media use.

In 2011 we used no less than four photographers: our friend Ken Scott of Edinburgh who is also a Judge and has been photographing the event since it began; royal photographer Walter Neilson of Fife, famous for his images of Princess Catherine; Matt Statkiewicz of oh!ccasions in Edinburgh. Finally, videography and most of the stills photographs on this page are by Fraser Purdie of Glasgow (who is also the composer of our Awards Theme as on the YouTube clips).

Please let us have any images you would like us to add to the Gallery page!

Literally 100s of 2010 and new 2011 images can be downloaded from galleries on our Facebook page.

Also check Gary’s Facebook page for additional images.

All images on Facebook can be downloaded from there (see link in lower left corner of photo viewer page) and can also be provided by us at high resolution – just ask.

A one-off page of 2009 images is here. We have images of previous years' events on file if needed.
