“I felt hugely honoured and quite surprised to receive the SLTN Industry Achievement Award for 2025. It was amazing to get the recognition for years supporting the hospitality industry. I’d like to thank my family and the brilliant teams that supported me at college as well as all who have been so supportive around Hospitality Health.

2026 SLTN AWARDS

The Best in Scottish Hospitality

The 2026 SLTN Awards will be the 30th time we have celebrated the very best of Scotland’s world-famous hospitality industry. From bar staff, to industry leaders; from a beloved local pub, to national operators; the SLTN Awards are your opportunity to be recognised for what you do, and how well you do it.

"This was the 29th SLTN Awards, and somehow the standard of hospitality in Scotland just keeps getting better. Everyone we visited this year was outstanding, and those that were shortlisted as finalists represent the very best the industry has to offer. The SLTN team are proud to once again raise a glass to Scotland’s top operators and staff.”

Dave Hunter

SLTN print editor

“There is superb hospitality to be found in every corner of Scotland, and this year’s winners list proves it. From Inverness to Auchtermuchty, Ayrshire to Pitlochry, the standard of entries this year was exceptional, and making it to the shortlist in any category was a huge achievement. Congratulations to all our winners and highly commended finalists!”
