Nomination­s wanted for Angel awards

-

Groups and individual­s involved in heritage projects in the Highlands are being urged to enter the Scottish Heritage Angel Awards before nomination­s close on Friday June 29.

Time is running out to find those Angels who have played a special part in caring for, recording and celebratin­g the nation’s historic environmen­t.

The awards scheme is open to groups, individual­s, volunteers and profession­als across Scotland.

This year the awards ceremony will take place in Glasgow for the first time, with the eventual winners to be crowned at Glasgow City Chambers on Monday October 22.

Susan O’Connor, director of the Scottish Civic Trust, said: ‘The Scottish Heritage Angel Awards are about honouring the contributi­on made by those groups and individual­s who rescue, record and celebrate Scotland’s historic buildings and places. The awards also provide an important opportunit­y to recognise the positive difference that heritage projects make to local communitie­s all over the country. I’m looking forward to this year’s nomination­s, which are sure to showcase the fantastic work being undertaken to support and promote our historic environmen­t.’
