The production team of Outlander, including stars Sam Heughan and Catriona Balfe, will be honored with the Outstanding Contribution to Television award at the BAFTA Scotland ceremony on November 15. The show, which concluded its 12-year run earlier this year, has significantly impacted Scotland's screen industry and tourism, creating over 170 trainee roles and attracting visitors to the country's scenic locations.
The award recognizes the team's efforts in adapting Diana Gabaldon's novels and highlights the cultural exchange between the production and Scotland. The success of Outlander has also paved the way for a sequel series, Blood of My Blood, which continues to engage fans and promote Scottish heritage.
