Scotland’s heroes celebrated by the stars at People’s Oscars

- HEATHER GREENAWAY

THE stars were out last night to honour the nation's inspirational unsung heroes at our glittering People's Oscars.

Faces from music, sport and TV gathered at The Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh to celebrate our Pride of Scotland award winners.

Love Island's Paige Turley and Laura Anderson dazzled as they interviewed the host of star guests from the red carpet.

Laura, who wore a cream gown trimmed with feathers, added: "Scots know how to throw a party.
