On Tuesday afternoon, I was delighted to meet the judges from Keep Scotland Beautiful who were in The Ferry to judge us against other Coastal Towns competing for The David Kerr Coastal Resort Trophy and other awards in the annual Beautiful Scotland competition. 

In Broughty Ferry, Judges Lorna Much and Kate Stevenson came to inspect the work inspired and coordinated by Broughty in Bloom. After they visited last year, Broughty Ferry in Bloom received a Silver Gilt Award. Unfortunately we will all have to wait for the Awards Ceremony on 6 September to find out whether Broughty Ferry in Bloom carry off a Gold Award this time.

Well done to Stan Nutt, Chairperson of Broughty in Bloom and his committee for their sustained commitment to enhance our environment.

Beautiful Scotland is a long-established community environmental improvement campaign run in partnership with the Royal Horticultural Society. Previously known as Beautiful Scotland in Bloom, the programme supports community groups across Scotland as they seek to improve and enhance their local environment. Beautiful Scotland is a competition with an extensive set of categories and awards, and its winners can progress to the sister Britain in Bloom competition and thereafter to the international Entente Florale.

Keep Scotland Beautiful is the independent charity which is committed to making Scotland clean and green, today and tomorrow.
