The Glenfiddich Spirit of Scotland Awards are annual awards given to notable Scottish people. It is sponsored by the Scotch whisky company Glenfiddich, in association with The Scotsman newspaper. Nine awards are given out for art, business, environment, food, music, screen, sport, writing, and "Top Scot". A consulting panel nominates four people in each category, with the winner decided by public vote. The "Top Scot" category is an open award, with the public able to nominate anyone. The awards were established in 1998.
The consulting panel comprised John McLellan, editor at The Scotsman and other correspondents, Sally Gordon of Glenfiddich, Peter Irvine and Stuart Nisbet from Unique Events, Fiona Bradley of the Fruitmarket Gallery, Celia Stevenson, and David Sole.
