The Scottish Music Awards are an annual event that celebrates the achievements of musicians and artists in Scotland. Organized by the Nordoff Robbins charity, the awards aim to recognize talent across various genres, including rock, pop, and traditional Scottish music. The event also raises funds to support music therapy programs for those in need. Held in different venues across Scotland, the awards feature performances by nominated artists and special guests. Categories include Best Album, Best Newcomer, and Lifetime Achievement, among others. The event not only honors individual accomplishments but also highlights the rich musical heritage of Scotland.
