A judgely huddle...

One of my top five days of the year today - the judging panel to decide on the winners of our annual awards for young people.

It is - by equal measure - humbling, inspiring, moving, motivating and life-affirming. There are just so so many amazing young Scots out there. It's a privilege to be part of sharing their stories*

And speaking of inspiring young Scots - some of them were alongside me on the judging panel and obliged for a quick pose with the top secret folder containing all the finalist details. Thanks guys - you're were so wonderful - and very wise/compassionate to boot!



*The Awards take place on April 10th - and we're going to be on telly again, as well as the Sunday Mail. Toooo exciting!
