The Scots Trad Music Awards celebrate Scotland's traditional music in all its forms and create a high profile opportunity to bring the music and music industry into the spotlight of media and public attention.
The awards are organised by Hands Up for Trad. Since 2008 the awards have been sponsored by MG Alba, and for several years the event has been televised on BBC Alba.
The awards were staged at the Inverness Leisure Centre and broadcast live on BBC Alba.
The 2013 ceremony was held in Aberdeen.
The ceremony was held in the Perth Concert Hall.
