Jackie Bird and Alan Hansen lead New Year Honours in Scotland
Painter and printmaker Barbara Rae, from Falkirk, has been made a dame in the honours list.
Her work has been shown around the world at venues in Chicago, New York, Washington, Santa Fe, Oslo, Hong Kong, Dublin and Belfast.
The 81-year-old said she was “lost for words” after being told of the honour.
However, she said it was unlikely to change her work and she would still be putting on her “paint-splattered overalls” to create work in her studio each day.
Paralympic swimmer Stephen Clegg, who grew up in the Scottish Borders, is appointed an MBE after winning his first gold medal at Paris 2024.
The chief commercial officer for the University of Strathclyde Gillian Docherty becomes a CBE, as does Prof Richard Williams, vice-chancellor and principal of Heriot-Watt University.
And the former chief officer of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service Ross Haggart is also awarded a CBE. He retired earlier this year after 30 years of service.
