Scotland's tourism Oscars are making a return – and businesses and organisations in the Helensburgh area are being urged to get their nominations in.

Helensburgh and Lomond has an impressive track record in the Thistle Awards, with past regional winners including the Scottish Submarine Centre, Ashfield House B&B in Arrochar, and Knockderry House in Cove, while several other businesses in the area were shortlisted before Covid put the annual initiative on hold in 2020.

Nominations for the 2022/23 awards, once again being delivered by VisitScotland, are now open in 17 categories, with the winners in five regional award ceremonies going forward to compete in the national final in February 2023.
