Doctor Who stars Ncuti Gatwa and Peter Capaldi, Outlander actor Sam Heughan and Scottish film veteran Peter Mullan are among the famous faces confirmed for the ceremony on Sunday 15 November.
The annual celebration of Scottish screen talent will take place at the DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Central, with broadcaster Edith Bowman returning as host.
BAFTA Scotland has revealed a star-studded line-up of presenters and nominees who will attend, including Dougray Scott, Shirley Henderson, Katie Leung, Ashley Storrie and Still Game favourite Sanjeev Kohli.
Gatwa, who is nominated for the Audience Award for Favourite Scot on Screen for Doctor Who, will be among the presenters alongside Line of Duty actor Mark Bonnar, Dept. Q star Kate Dickie and television presenter Kirsty Wark.
Other confirmed presenters include Amy Manson, Gordon Buchanan, Jack Docherty, Julia Brown, Kim Tserkezie, Lorn Macdonald, Marli Siu, Mitchell Robertson, Noof Ousellam, Ruaridh Mollica and Stuart Campbell.
The ceremony will also bring together stars of some of the year’s biggest Scottish film and television productions.
Peter Mullan, Shirley Henderson and Scott Ellis Watson are among those attending from I Swear, which leads this year’s nominations with seven.
The film, based on the life of Scottish Tourette syndrome campaigner John Davidson, has secured all three nominations in the Actor Film category, with Mullan and Ellis Watson competing alongside Robert Aramayo.
Henderson is shortlisted for Actress Film, while writer and director Kirk Jones has received nominations in two categories.
Peter Capaldi is nominated for Actor Television for Criminal Record, competing against Dougray Scott - who is due to walk the red carpet - for Summerwater, Jack Lowden for Slow Horses and Robert Carlyle for The Hack.
Scott is also confirmed to attend Sunday’s ceremony.
Netflix crime drama Dept. Q and BBC Scotland comedy Dinosaur have each received three nominations.
Dinosaur creator and star Ashley Storrie will attend alongside Dept. Q actresses Chloe Pirrie and Leah Byrne. Emma Laird, nominated for Mint, and Lucy Halliday, recognised for California Schemin’ and The Testaments, are also expected.
Katie Leung, Julie Wilson Nimmo and The Traitors winner Stephen Libby complete the confirmed attendees from the six-strong Audience Award shortlist, alongside Gatwa, Mullan and Byrne.
One of the evening’s special honours will go to Outlander, which is receiving the Outstanding Contribution to Television award in recognition of its impact on Scotland’s screen industry.
Sam Heughan, who played Jamie Fraser throughout the international hit’s eight seasons, will attend alongside showrunner and executive producer Matthew B. Roberts.
The award recognises the contribution of Heughan, co-star Caitríona Balfe, Roberts and series developer Ronald D. Moore.
First broadcast in 2014, Outlander became one of Scotland’s most successful television exports, introducing international audiences to the country’s landscapes, history and traditions.
The production has also been credited with boosting Scottish tourism and providing opportunities for people working in film and television. Its training programme has supported more than 170 new entrants to the industry.
The honour will be presented by Scottish Government minister Màiri McAllan.
BAFTA Scotland will also recognise supervising location manager Lloret MacKenna Dunn with its Outstanding Contribution to Craft award.
MacKenna Dunn has worked in Scotland’s film and television industry for more than 30 years, with credits including T2: Trainspotting, Frankenstein, The Lost King and Rab C Nesbitt.
She will receive the award from producer Gillian Berrie.
A total of 41 films and television programmes have been recognised across 14 competitive categories at this year’s awards.
The winners will be revealed on Sunday evening, with coverage available through BAFTA’s YouTube channel and social media platforms.
