The Daily Record emerged from the Scottish Press Awards last night with five gongs to its name, including newspaper of the year.

The paper also picked up the scoop and front page awards for “THE VOW”, its splash on David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband’s promise to devolve further powers to Scotland in the event of a no vote in the Scottish independence referendum.

The pledge was published exclusively in the Daily Record, and was seen as a turning point in the referendum campaign.
