Amidst a rumble of under the breath mutterings about sassanaks and various ills perpetrated by their brothers from across the border*, an English firm has managed to sneak in and steal the top gong at the PPA's Scottish Magazine Awards 2009.
Carlisle's CN Group will be nursing sore heads this morning (from champagne rather than fisticuffs we hope, Ed) after last night securing the prize of Scottish Magazine of the Year for its Dumfries & Galloway Life title.
The winning team
Furthermore the same publication also picked up the 'consumer magazine of the year' gong.
The ceremony, held at Edinburgh's Our Dynamic Earth, was attended by 400 leading lights from the Scottish publishing industry, and a small English raiding party.
For those of you with interests in the sector the full list of winners is as follows.
