Film-maker Murray Grigor, 72, is to receive an OBE for services to architecture and to the film industry.
Mr Grigor, also a writer and exhibition curator, has directed more than 60 films.
He will be following in the footsteps of his late mother, Kay, who was awarded an MBE in the early 1960s.
Mr Grigor, originally from Inverness, said he was not expecting the honour: "It was quite a surprise, it came out of left field. It is a great privilege."

She met her partner, director Tim Burton, while filming Planet of the Apes, and has gone on to star in several of his films including Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and Alice In Wonderland.
