This part of Scotland has always been an award-winning
destination. Its unique floral displays have grown in numbers
as well as in reputation and have won the area a number of
different prizes. In 1993 Moray's magnificent floral sculptures
won the Scotland in Bloom Best District Award for the 6th
time. Similarly, the city of Aberdeen was the winner of the
Beautiful Britain in Bloom Trophy 10 times. It was also
awarded the Best City for Tourism, Britain's Cleanest City,
Scotland's Most Sporting City and the Queen Mother's Award
for the Enviroment, all in 1993. Aberdeen is considered to
be the second best place to live in the UK.
Braemar, in 1992, won the Best Village in Scotland for Tourism and a year later achieved the Tourist Information Centre Award. Its industry has also enjoyed the taste of success. For example, Johnstons of Elgin (who produce fine cashmere and woollen goods) won the Queen's Award for Export in 1994; Baxters of Speyside won the Highlands and Islands Quality Forum Quality Award in 1992 and, in the same year, Glenfiddich won the Moray Panel Access Award for facilities for the disabled at the distillery. In the Scotish Museum of the Year competition, the North East of Scotland Agricultural Heritage Centre won an award for their video on the reconstruction of the working farm, Hareshowe, which illustrates farming techniques throughout the 20th century. The adjacent caravan park was Best Caravan Park in Scotland in 1992. Its hotel and catering industry has also achieved the highest awards for providing quality accomodation and service.
