As the Edinburgh Fringe draws to a close, we were delighted to announce four final winners of our Scotsman Fringe First awards on Friday.
The awards, established in 1973, have helped launch countless stage and screen careers and are one of the most important theatre awards at the festival.
The four final winners were Ohio, #CHARLOTTESVILLE, Hot Mess and PHILOSOPHY OF THE WORLD.
The ceremony also featured special guest presenter Miriam Margolyes and a live performance by Fringe First winner Jade Franks.
Four other prestigious prizes were presented by the Brighton Fringe, the Adelaide Fringe, the Mental Health Foundation and the Gilded Balloon.
