Mike Blair has been named Scotland's Player of the Season at the 2008 Scottish Rugby Awards.
The Calcutta Cup winning captain and scrumhalf collected his prize at an awards ceremony at Murrayfield Stadium on Friday.
The award was part of a double for Blair who also captured the Magners League player of the season prize.
Blair said: "It's been a fantastic year for me.
"I always say that it's an honour to play for Scotland but to captain Scotland in this season's Six Nations was a dream come true.
"To win both the Magners and Scotland player of the season in the same year just caps off an excellent season for me."
Meanwhile, Blair's Edinburgh and Scotland team-mate, hooker Ross Ford, won the award for Try of the Season for his glorious score against Leicester Tigers in the Heineken Cup at Murrayfield.
