I won the Glenfiddich 'Spirit of Scotland' Entrepreneur Award...

Last night, I was very gratefully awarded this very prestigious award.  Thanks very much if you were one of the folks who kindly took the time to vote online last month.

It felt amazing even just to be recognised among the ranks of such incredibly talented, famous and successful people as Glasvegas, KT Tunstall, Mark Beaumont and James McAvoy.  

To win an award, in the Entrepreneur category, was very touching - since the winner was chosen by the public.  I didn't really know what to say when I was invited to give a speech.  I thanked my family for being so supportive and, of course, my Gran for teaching me to make jam in the first place.

The overall winner of 'Top Scot' was Chris Hoy, the three-time Gold medal winning Olympian.

The Scotsman editor, Mike Gilson, who presented the award to me, said: "Fraser's fearless mix of Scottish home cooking and business acumen embodies the spirit of young entrepreneurship".  Very nice of him to say so.

You can read all about the event and the other winners in today's Scotsman and the whole ceremony is broadcast this Sunday, St Andrew's Day, at 10:30pm on STV.
