Sheena Wellington

In November 2009, she was installed in the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame whose inductees include Jimmy Shand, Aly Bain, The Corries and Sheila Stewart.

Wellington was made the year's Honorary President of Greenock Burns Club (The Mother Club) in January 2006, when she became the first woman in the club's 204-year history to be invited to give The Immortal Memory.

She was, from 2006 to 2016, the Honorary Librarian of Dundee's internationally famous Wighton Collection and still organises the programme of concerts, recitals and classes to promote the music and song it contains.

In 2004, she joined Scotland's Cultural Commission and quickly became a leading member, as well as an outspoken critic of plans to amalgamate the Scottish Arts Council and Scottish Screen into a super-quango called "Culture Scotland", which eventually happened with the creation of Creative Scotland.

Honours bestowed on her for her work include Doctorates from the Universities of St Andrews (2000) and Dundee (2006)) and the Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama (2007), The Heritage Society of Scotland's award for her outstanding contribution to Scotland's culture, the UK-wide Association of Speakers Clubs Speaker of the Year 2001 and the coveted Herald Archangel for her Edinburgh International Festival's series of traditional song programmes "Work, Sex and Drink".
