More than 100 “exceptional” Scots from fields including science, sport, education and business have been recognised in the Queen’s birthday honours list.

Football legend Kenny Dalglish has been knighted.

Meanwhile, peace campaigner Mike Haines has dedicated his royal honour to brother David, whose murder at the hands of Isis militants sent shockwaves across the world.

Mike has been appointed an Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his voluntary services to tolerance and education in the UK and abroad.

Since the death of his younger brother, Mike has travelled the world speaking to religious leaders and schools as part of his Global Acts Of Unity campaign.

The 51-year-old, from Dundee, has called for unity in the face of terrorist atrocities and has helped form a new group to lobby the UK Government on counter-terror policies and improved support for victims.

He said the award meant a great deal and showed that Perth aid worker David’s “mission lives on”.

“I want to be clear that this award is not about me, but for all those who have supported the Global Acts of Unity campaign, and the values it stands for,” he said.

“It is in recognition first of my family: my wonderful fiancee, who has been a rock during difficult times and is essential to the campaign, and my sons who, along with my aunt and uncle, support me and my work without question.

“It is also in recognition of my late parents, who instilled in me the values that I have carried with me since I was young.”

He said the award reflected the thousands of students who took part in the campaign, and who have stood against acts of hatred.

“David, this award is for you brother,” he said.

“Your commitment and courage are a constant source of inspiration. You devoted your life to helping others, and in this I hope you see that your mission lives on.

“I can imagine you up there, having a good laugh at my expense while saying: ‘Nice one bruv, now get the beers in’.”

Sir Craig Reedie, president of the World Anti-Doping Agency, receives a Knight Grand Cross for services to sport while Douglas Flint is knighted for services to the finance industry.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: “The Queen’s birthday honours list illustrates the achievements of many exceptional people from across Scotland who have shown outstanding service and dedication.

“The recipients range from those who work in the fields of education and business, medicine and science, to those who promote our country on the world’s sporting stage and through traditional music.”

Known as ‘King Kenny’ to many supporters, Dalglish will now become Sir Kenny in recognition of his services to football, charity and the city of Liverpool.

The former Celtic and Liverpool striker remains Scotland’s most-capped player with more than 100 appearances for the national side during which he scored a joint-highest 30 goals.

After retiring from playing, Dalglish went on to manage Liverpool and was in charge during the Hillsborough disaster in 1989.

He was widely praised for leading the club’s response to the tragedy and he continued to support the families of the 96 who died as they campaigned for justice.

The 67-year-old Glaswegian and his wife Marina have also helped raise millions of pounds for cancer treatment through the Marina Dalglish Appeal after she successfully battled breast cancer.

Joking that he thought the letter informing him of the knighthood had been from the taxman, he added of the achievement: “We only set out to do the best we possibly could, even through all the other stuff – the charity or Hillsborough, it was to help people because somebody helped us.”

Billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, the boss of chemical company Ineos, who this year topped The Sunday Times rich list with £21.05 billion, receives a knighthood for services to business and investment.

Douglas Flint has been recognised with a knighthood for services to the finance industry, while book shop founder Tim Waterstone becomes a sir for services to charity and to bookselling.

Mr Waterstone, who was born in Glasgow but grew up in England, opened his first book shop in 1982, going on to make it the largest bookselling group in Europe.
