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.

Selecting the winners was an exceptionally difficult task 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).
