Scotland's People

Jackie Bird travels the country to celebrate the care workers, community workers and NHS staff who went above and beyond during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Jackie Bird presents a heartwarming festive show that celebrates those people across Scotland who have gone above and beyond in what has been another challenging year.

Joining in are some of the UK's most loved faces, including Martin Compston, Gary Lineker, The Proclaimers, KT Tunstall, Sharleen Spiteri, Greg Wise, Sir Chris Hoy, Scotland football captain Andy Robertson and Amy McDonald among others.

Jackie interrupts a live Del Amitri gig to surprise one of our nominees who was a lifeline to many during lockdown, and she heads to Aberdeen to meet two young football fans who fundraised tirelessly for the MS Society. She visits Peebles to honour the local postie, who happens to be a volunteer first responder who saved lives during lockdown, and joins a group of young people in Kilmarnock who want to pay tribute to a man who changed their lives. In Pollokshields, she meets a powerhouse volunteer who brought an incredibly diverse community together, and she pays tribute to a couple who used their own tragedy to bring music into the lives of terminally ill children.

It's Christmas and time to say thank you to Scotland's People 2021.
