Alan Cumming received an Outstanding Contribution to Film & Television award at the Scottish BAFTAs tonight.
We know he arrived in Scotland yesterday as his regular Saturday night on Broadway Instagram slot featured his Mum somewhere in his homeland.
Today, he stepped out in style in a red tartan dinner suit when he arrived at the Radisson Blu in Glasgow (his suit is not unlike that worn by KT Tunstall in Cumming’s adopted hometown of New York earlier this year – see below!) and we are told he and other VIPs were chauffeured by Audi who kindly provided us with the photo.

He was then interviewed by Sanjeev Singh Kohli alongside First Minister Nicola Sturgeon :

So is this where the Scottish actor got his inspiration for the fab outfit he was wearing? I think they both look fabulous and are true ambassadors for Scotland. What do you think?
And in another fun fact – we think Audi were official chauffeurs at the Welsh BAFTAs the other week too….
