Bowman said: “I can’t believe I get to host the wonderful Bafta Scotland awards again, it’s a genuine honour.
“The list of nominees are not just impressive but inspiring, the wealth of creative talent and craft that exists in Scotland makes me so proud.
“I can’t wait to celebrate with everyone on November 20.”
