The Patrons
We are delighted to acknowledge the support and recognition of our Founding Patrons, Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal; First Minister Jack McConnell MSP and Sir Jackie Stewart, OBE.
“To succeed at the highest level of sport is a rewarding and challenging goal for every sportsman and woman. Having endeavoured to achieve in sport, it is a great compliment to be recognised among your peer group and the Scottish Public.
The select few represented here are poignant reminders of not only fantastic achievement in sport, but often the triumph through true courage, grit and determination. I believe that the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame will provide us all with a lasting tribute to past stories of success and for those great sporting moments that awaits us in the future.”
Sir Jackie Stewart, OBE, Founding Patron, Inductee 2002 World Formula One Champion; 1969, 1971, 1973
“I applaud the achievements of the many past greats of Scottish sport who have brought both pride and honour to their sport and nation. The Scottish Sports Hall of Fame recognises these remarkable men and women who hail from every corner of Scotland and who we believe will provide today’s children with the inspiration to follow their dreams.
"This partnership project between sportscotland and the National Museums of Scotland celebrates our diverse sporting and rich cultural heritage. I hope that today’s aspiring British, European and World Champions will find future recognition in our nation’s Scottish Sports Hall of Fame.”
