We’ve got a wee bit of news from last night.
Well, three bits. 🏆🏆🏆
While Jaynie headed to the Scotland Food & Drink Excellence Awards, Katie and Lude headed to the West of Scotland Scottish Thistle Awards.
We had a fairly good night.
Jaynie won Young Talent of the Year at the Scotland Food & Drink Excellence Awards. ❤️
Then Katie and Lude came home with:
🏆 Best Visitor Attraction
🏆 Best Community Tourism & Events Initiative
Honestly, we’re a little bit blown away.
Particularly when you look at the people and places we were up against.
Equi’s Ice Cream.
Growers Garden.
The Tall Ship Glenlee.
Tennent’s Visitor Centre.
Alloway Railway Tunnel.
Cycle Station.
Brilliant Scottish businesses, attractions and people doing brilliant work.
For our family and our team here in Jackton to be recognised alongside them means an enormous amount.
The community award feels especially personal.
Over the past few years you’ve turned up for our markets, Hoedowns, tastings, festivals, music nights, local weekends and more. You’ve brought your families, your pals and, quite often, your dogs.
You’ve helped make Jackton what it is.
A huge thank you to Scotland Food & Drink, VisitScotland and the Scottish Thistle Awards.
And thank you to our entire team and everyone who has walked through our doors.
Three trophies in one night.
Not bad for a Thursday.
