BAFTA Scotland is set to honour the TV series Outlander with an “outstanding contribution” award at next month’s ceremony. Multiple outlets say the award is framed as BAFTA Scotland’s highest honour for television.
Several sources add that key figures from the programme will be recognised, including stars and members of the production team. BBC Entertainment reports Sam Heughan is among four members of the production team due to receive the Outstanding Contribution to Television award.
Context on the programme’s run differs slightly by outlet. The Scotsman says Outlander ends this year after eight seasons, while the Daily Record and The Herald Scotland describe the show as concluding earlier this year after a longer overall timeframe. Overall, the coverage focuses on the nomination event and the “highest honour” framing, with limited detail beyond who is being recognised and when the ceremony will take place.
