"This is also, however, an important opportunity to acknowledge the dedication of those who selflessly serve the needs of others in our communities.
"My sincerest congratulations go to all who have been recognised today."
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said those recognised had made "exceptional contributions" to communities across Scotland and beyond.
She added: "These Honours are particularly poignant as they are the first to be awarded since the passing of Her Majesty The Queen, who reigned for over 70 years.
"The service and dedication of our successes, from the arts, education and sport to business, charity, community cohesion and science has helped to promote Scotland all over the world and benefited people throughout society."
