HEARTS skipper Steven Pressley, IndyCar driver Dario Franchitti, and singer KT Tunstall are among the Capital's celebrities gearing up for tonight's Scottish Style Awards.

The awards ceremony is taking place at Glasgow's Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.

A range of the Capital's top bars, clubs and restaurants are also up for gongs at the plush event, now in its second year.

Pressley and Franchitti are up for the most stylish male category, but are expected to face tough competition from Doctor Who star David Tennant and journalist AA Gill. KT Tunstall is the only Edinburgh representative in the most stylish band or musician category, where she is up against bands including Franz Ferdinand and The Fratellis.

Another of the Capital's top celebrities, jazz singer Niki King, is in with a chance in the most stylish female category, along with singer Annie Lennox, artist Alison Watt and actress Dawn Steele.

A number of the city's top new stylish bars, clubs, hotels and restaurants are also expected to perform well, including George Street bar Tigerlily and Santini Ristorante at the Sheraton Hotel.
