Nature of Scotland Awards

We’re looking forward to celebrating all our 2024 finalists at our Awards Ceremony. This prestigious event will take place at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre on Thursday 28 November 2024. Brought to you by RSPB Scotland and headline sponsor NatureScot, over 400 members of the conservation community will come together for an evening of celebration hosted by BBC Landward presenters and nature enthusiasts Dougie Vipond and Arlene Stuart. 

Dougie Vipond first shot to fame as a founding member and drummer of the band Deacon Blue. He’s been a fixture on Scottish television since the 90s, presenting a host of different sports programmes, as well as the Adventure Show, the Great Food Guys and of course, Landward. 

Arlene Stuart has had a long career in broadcasting, appearing as a presenter and DJ across a broad range of TV and radio stations, including STV, Grampian, Forth One and the BBC. She’s been a presenter on Landward since 2017.

NatureScot is Scotland's nature agency. We bring 30 years of experience, expertise and passion to our nation's most vital endeavour: to tackle the twin crises of nature's devastating decline and the climate emergency.

Working with partners, communities and businesses we're leading nationally to stop the dramatic decline in biodiversity, as a necessary first step towards substantial regeneration by 2045. By restoring biodiversity, nature will make an essential contribution to both hitting net zero carbon emissions targets and a thriving economy with people’s wellbeing at its heart.
