What to know

  • Four Outlander cast and production members—Sam Heughan, Catriona Balfe, Ronald D. Moore, and Matthew B. Roberts—will receive Bafta Scotland's Outstanding Contribution to Television award on November 15.
  • The show created over 170 trainee roles through its training programme and is credited with a major "Outlander effect" driving tourism to Scottish locations.
  • Outlander concluded in 2026 after 12 years; a prequel series, Blood of My Blood, premiered in 2025 and continues to attract fans to Scotland.

“When we first landed in Scotland, we were outsiders – Sassenachs – strangers in a strange land telling a very Scottish story. What we found was a country that opened its doors and a crew that opened their hearts.”
