THE countdown to the Daily Record Pride of Scotland Awards is finally over- and today we reveal the unsung heroes who will be honoured at tonight's red carpet spectacular.
Our glittering People's Oscars will see 10 awe-inspiring Scots being recognised for their acts of courage and kindness.
From a have-a-go hero granny who tackled a hammer-wielding thug and a troupe of clown-doctors to a brave teenager battling a cruel skin condition, this year's winners are a cut above.
The Daily Record Pride of Scotland Awards with TSB will be hosted by Elaine C Smith and Sanjeev Kohli, with Love Island's Paige Turley and Laura Anderson bringing all the goss from the red carpet.
Here we reveal the recipients - the ordinary men, women and children who have achieved the extraordinary and are, undoubtedly, the pride of our nation.
For the winners' stories in full please see the in-depth and colourful pullout inside today's paper.
TEENAGER OF COURAGE
ISLA GRIST, 14, BLACK ISLE, ROSS AND CROMARTY
The "butterfly" schoolgirl suffers from epidermolysis bullosa which means her skin tears at the slightest touch. Despite living in constant pain, Isla inspires all she meets with her bravery.
Football legend Graeme Souness, who has helped to raise £1million for DEBRA, a charity which supports Isla and funds research into a cure, said: "Isla inspires me every time I am in her company."
CHILDREN OF COURAGE
GRACE, 10, AND HARRY SINCLAIR, NINE, DUNFERMLINE
The siblings have raised more than £20,000 for charity It's Good 2 Give after Harry was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2019. They want to help other families coping with cancer.
