Alba at Royal Television Society awards

some of the realities around Scotland’s involvement in the Atlantic slave trade.

Eòrpa presenter, journalist and historian, Ruairidh MacIver, right, said: 'This programme was team effort and I’m very thankful to RTS Scotland for recognising our work in this way. I’d like to thank historians, such as David Alston and Iain Mackinnon, who were so generous with their time and research. Particular thanks to Graham Campbell,

aKarrie Prescott, Jack Shehata and Philomena de Lima, who helped us understand the impact and the legacy slavery still has today.' Also recognised by the Royal Television Society was purpleTV’s sports documentary Na Boireannaich a Thog (The Women Who Built Glasgow City), looking at the story behind the founding and early success of Glasgow City Football Club. Margot McCuaig, director at purpleTV said: 'I am utterly thrilled that The Women Who Built Glasgow City has secured this award. Whilst it's personally rewarding, it is also an important message affirming that women's stories matter. 'Women's voices have been marginalised for too long and this documentary, telling the remarkable story of Laura Montgomery and Cas Stewart, is evidence of the central role women in sport have played, and continue to play, in Scottish culture and society. It is an absolute privilege to have amplified their voices for BBC Alba audiences.'
