Scots recognised by Queen's New Year Honours
The Scottish Secretary congratulates Scotland's honours recipients
Commenting on Her Majesty鈥檚 New Year Honours list, Scottish Secretary Alister Jack said:
鈥淭he Honours list demonstrates the wealth of talent and commitment in Scotland鈥檚 science, education, sport and public life. We should all be proud of our country鈥檚 outstanding achievements in these fields.
鈥淗er Majesty has also recognised the dedication, compassion and kindness of so many ordinary people up and down the UK. As we all know too well, 2020 has been a year like no other. So many Scots have gone above and beyond in supporting friends, neighbours and their wider community during the pandemic. These are not people who seek the limelight, so I鈥檓 very glad that so many of those local heroes have been recognised by Her Majesty.
鈥淢y heartfelt congratulations go to the many Scots who have been honoured by Her Majesty.鈥�
