Five groups on Scotland’s Railway triumphed from the 12 categories and 13 discretionary awards.

The ceremony has recognised the volunteer commitment across the country and their hard work to improve the places they care for.

ScotRail station adopters North Berwick in Bloom took home top prize as well as the Coastal Town Trophy and Community Horticultural Award.

The volunteers maintain 28 barrel-planters, a barrel train, station garden and the immediate surrounding area.

Other winners on the night were Uddingston Pride who won the Urban Community Trophy.

ScotRail Community Development Executive Tracy Stevenson said:

“I’d like to congratulate the winners and thank all the volunteers for their hard work and contribution, not just to Scotland’s Railway, but to the wider local community.

“Supporting local communities and their projects is incredibly important, and these award wins showcase the fantastic work of our many volunteers across Scotland’s Railway.”
