Well, that was quite an end to a week. Having gone to press on our winter issue on Thursday, we had just enough time to get dressed up in our finery and hot-foot it over to the PPA Scottish Magazine Awards at Our Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh.  And having wrestled around in the back of the cupboard to find something suitable to wear, it seems we didn’t get all dressed up for nothing … Scotland Outdoors scooped the Best Small Publishing Company Magazine 2009 and was also short-listed in the Best Consumer Magazine Design category.

Suffice to say we are extremely chuffed to be recognised in this way. Winning such a coveted national award so early in the magazine’s development means a huge amount to us. A big thank you again to the whole team – and all our external contributors – for their passion and dedication over the past year or so. Onwards and upwards!

Bye for now
Richard
