She won our first search for the country's top model and shy schoolgirl Kirsty Shearer is now the face of Primark.
Kirsty, from Rutherglen, near Glasgow, has appeared in magazines all over the UK, Europe and Asia, with the world's biggest brands queuing up to use her in their ad campaigns.
Now her picture is up in Primark stores across the country - much to the delight of her mum.
Kirsty said: "I seem to have the look advertisers go for, especially now I've cut my hair short. At 5ft 6in, I'm too short to be a catwalk model but commercially I appear to be exactly what brands like.
"Seeing my face all over posters and pillars at Primark has to be one of the highlights. My mum has been going round the stores and sending me photos, as have my London friends. It's all very surreal."
The 22-year-old beat more than 2000 rivals to win the inaugural #Scoutmescotland competition in 2018 and has modelled all over the globe.
She said: "I've had the most incredible few years since winning a competition I had no intention of entering. I've modelled for Gucci in the German version of GQ magazine and starred in a campaign for Barbour footwear.
"It's been crazy and I've loved every minute. I've gone from a shy, nervous schoolgirl to someone who has no qualms about travelling on my own all over the world, meeting stylists and performing in front of the camera.
"I'm signed to agencies in Glasgow, London, Paris, Milan, Madrid, Japan, Stockholm and Korea, which just blows my mind. I've done shoots in some very exotic places and met some incredible people."
When Covid struck in 2020, the modelling industry shut down for nearly 18 months, which prompted her to take up a university degree in fashion branding at Glasgow Caledonian University.
Now in her third year, Kirsty said: "In 2019 my modelling career was flying and then at the start of 2020 there was no work so I decided to get a degree.
"Modelling ignited my passion for sustainable fashion and when I complete my studies I'm hoping to have a dual career in modelling and fashion. I've started an internship with designer Hayley McSporran and I've been volunteering with Sustainable Fashion Scotland."
As our search for Scotland's next top model nears its end, Kirsty wants to encourage other women like her to apply.
Kirsty, whose mother agency is Colours in Glasgow, said: "At the moment I am fitting modelling jobs around my studies but when I finish I plan to take a gap year to model and, if possible, head to the States.
"I would advise any shy women out there who are tempted to enter the competition to go for it. It has changed my life and given me a confidence I never dreamed I would have."
Ross Young, of Colours, said: "Smart, beautiful and with the kind of cool factor you just can't manufacture, Kirsty's international modelling career is going from strength to strength."
The Sunday Mail has teamed up with Colours and Select to find a Caledonian beauty. Up for grabs is the opportunity for exclusive representation with both agencies, along with free hair care for a year with Jason Hall Hairdressing and a portfolio shoot with top international photographer Mark K Seager.
Five finalists will take part in a photoshoot styled by Colours and Select, and shot by leading photographer Ifro Thomas.
All finalists will also receive a goody bag from L'Oréal.
