Scottish stars Jack Lowden and Ewan McGregor among Golden Globe nominees

HIT Netflix series Baby Reindeer has picked up a nomination at the upcoming Golden Globe Awards.

The series, created by Scot Richard Gadd, previously won Emmy awards for writing, producing and acting.

It was said to have been inspired by Gadd’s real-life experiences of stalking and sexual assault.

The show made the headlines after a woman, who claimed to be the inspiration behind the character of Martha, filed a lawsuit against Netflix claiming the story was inaccurate.

Gadd also picked up a nomination himself in the best actor in a limited series category.

Tilda Swinton also picked up a nomination in the best female performance in a drama category for her role in Pedro Almodóvar's The Room Next Door. 

Elsewhere, spy drama Slow Horses, starring Scottish actor Jack Lowden, also picked up a nomination in the best drama TV series category.

Lowden himself and his co-star Gary Oldman also picked up nominations for their roles in the series. 

Ewan McGregor, who has previously won a Golden Globe for his role in Fargo, also received the nod in the best acting performance in a limited series, anthology series or TV movie category for his work on A Gentleman in Moscow. 

Despite being tipped for awards success, there was no nomination in the best drama motion picture category for The Outrun.

The Orkney-set drama, based on the memoir by Amy Liptrot and her recovery from alcoholism, picked up critical acclaim.

It starred four-time Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan in the lead role while her husband Lowden served as a producer on the movie.
