From former prime minister Gordon Brown, to writer and satirist Armando Iannucci and ex footballers Ally McCoist and Graeme Souness, Scots are being recognised in the King's Birthday Honours list.


Mr Brown becomes a Companion of Honour for public and charitable services in the UK and abroad.
The honour recognises significant contributions to the arts, science, medicine or government over a long period of time and is limited to just 65 people at any one time.

Golfer Stephen Gallacher becomes an MBE for services to golf while former Rangers and Scotland player and now pundit McCoist is made an OBE for services to association football and broadcasting. Golfer Sandy Lyle becomes an OBE for services to golf.

Former Scotland and Liverpool star Graeme Souness says he is "delighted and humbled" to have been made a CBE in the King's birthday honours.

First Minister John Swinney has paid tribute to Scotland’s recipients in The King’s Birthday Honours list.

Mr Swinney said: "Those receiving recognition in The King’s Birthday Honours have each made outstanding contributions to community and public life, through the arts, education and sport to business, charity, community life and science. I am very pleased to offer them my congratulations. Their dedication and commitment makes Scotland a better place for us all."
