THE Scottish Mail on Sunday has been nominated in a host of categories at the prestigious Scottish Press Awards, which celebrate the best of journalism from across the country.
Four of our journalists from our news, sport and features teams have been shortlisted across four categories in this year’s newspaper ‘Oscars’.
Last year, your favourite Sunday read was awarded the coveted Scottish Newspaper of the Year accolade. We also lifted the Journalism Team of the Year award and the Young Journalist of the Year award.
This year, Patricia Kane has been shortlisted in the Feature Writer of the Year category.
Reporter Georgia Edkins is up for the Young Journalist of the Year award. Georgia won this award last year.

Meanwhile, nine journalists from our sister paper, The Scottish Daily Mail, are shortlisted in seven categories.
They include writer Emma Cowing, who is up for the Interviewer of the Year title. She has also been shortlisted in the Columnist of the Year category.
