Throughout history, the people of Scotland have contributed to the richness of our national life through innovation, creativity and working towards a fairer society. From scientists and inventors to artists, explorers and campaigners for social justice we have centuries of significant individuals to celebrate. For over ten years, HES has been awarding and installing commemorative plaques to honour these special people. Our plaques can be found on buildings all over Scotland and tell a story of world-firsts, international success and selfless devotion to improving the lives of others.
