Your Female Sportsperson of the Year and Overall Sportsperson of the Year is Taylah Paterson. Sometimes the obvious choice is the right choice, and this is one of those times: four gold medals in one games at home. Breaking the Orkney record over 60, 100, 200, 300 and 400m. Pulling on the Scotland vest again. Congratulations on a momentous year and best of luck finding a trophy cabinet big enough for all your winnings Taylah, we couldn't be more pleased for you and you deserve every award you've received.
