2009 Gala Awards Event

The creators of an eco alternative to cremation, a device which tricks fish to swim faster and a horse saddle developed on the set of Tom Cruise blockbuster The Last Samurai are among those crowned Scotland’s top inventors and innovators.

Six winners were crowned last night (12 March) beating stiff competition from over 200 entrants from across Scotland. Find out who the lucky winners are. 

The event itself was opened by Europe's largest female drum ensemble SheBoom. Who gave a spine tingling performance to kick off the proceedings.

NB - SheBoom were due to entertain the audience with a second set but unfortunately this was cancelled due to time constraints.

The speakers for the evening included GO Group Chief Executive Isabell Majewsky and GO Group Chairman Bil Stockdale who were followed by Keynote speaker Iain Baird, grandson of John Logie Baird.
