Guest Blog - The Tam Tod Trophy: open for nominations

by Catherine Midgley, Education Manager for Countryside Learning Scotland

Countryside Learning Scotland promote and manage a countryside award known as the Tam Tod Trophy. This award is presented annually to a person under the age of 21 that demonstrates respect for the countryside coupled with an enthusiasm and dedication in their chosen country sport or country sports career. 

Inaugurated in 2009, the Tam Tod Trophy was funded in memory of one of Scotland’s finest countrymen, the late Tam Tod, a gamekeeper, ghillie and lifelong friend of the countryside. The specially commissioned trophy was created by leading designer Robert MacFadzean of Fine Iron Design and the 2015 winner will be invited to a presentation at Scone Game Fair 2015.

We would urge you to nominate a young country sports person by completing this nomination form and circulate to others within your organisation. The closing date for entries is 1st May 2015 at midday. We very much look forward to receiving your nomination.
