The Scottish Rowing Awards were presented on Saturday evening in the spectacular setting of the University of Edinburgh's Playfair Library.
After dinner speeches were led by Scottish Rowing President Mike Morrice and World Rowing Champion Polly Swann treated guests to a heartwarming reply to Martin Claxton's toast to Scottish Rowing.
This was followed by the real business of the night - the Awards Presentation. The awards were entertainingly presented by an impressive line up of guests, including Olympic Champion Katherine Grainger, Polly Swann and GB Men's Lightweight Coach Darren Whiter.
Polly Swann was the deserving winner of International Rower of the Year, receiving her award from Scottish Rowing President, Mike Morrice.
Senior Rower of the year was won by Gary Wilson of Aberdeen Boat Club and Junior Rower of the Year was Callum Michael of Dumfries School Rowing Association. As well as receiving his award from Katherine Grainger, Callum also received an additional suprise when Polly Swann presented him with a Team GB shirt signed by the GB Rowing team.
The Crew of the Year trophy was presented to Euan Malone and Giacomo Galano of Clydesdale ARC by Darren Whiter. Coach of the Year was won by Stephen Kerr of Dumfries School Rowing Association. Unfortunately, Stephen was unable to collect his award from Steve Gunn, GB Start Manager.
The Award for Masters Rower of the Year was won by Aillie Ord of Strathclyde Park Rowing Club and the final award of the night was the Volunteer of the Year Award, won by Willie Turner of Clydesdale ARC.

The quality of the winners and the nominees this year reflects the depth of talent in Scottish Rowing and we look forward to the 2013-14 season in anticipation of even greater things to come.
