[…] For those of you not in the know, Outlander was originally a series of historical novels set in the Highlands by author Diana Gabaldon. With over 20 million copies sold, the series was greenlit for television earlier this year, and has since been touted as Scotland’s answer to Game of Thrones. The story centres around a love story between an 18th Century Mackenzie clansman and a 20th Century WWII nurse. Claire Randall is transported back to Scotland circa 1743 after she touches part of a stone circle near Inverness. While there, she meets a Clan Mackenzie warrior named Jamie Fraser and is torn between him and her husband back in 1945. Their journey leads them throughout Scotland (including the 1745 Jacobite Rising), France, the West Indies and America. The series currently spans seven books, with an eighth due for release in 2014.

I think Travis Fimmel should play Jamis. Have you seen the t.v. show ‘Vikings’??

Can’t wait for this adventure to come to the screen at last. My daughter and I were in Scotland In 2004 and when walking thru the battlefield of Colloden and the Clava Cairn, we felt the presence of the clans that perished and relived the story of Jamie and Claire who seem so real to us. What a wonderful series to read and feel in our hearts.

Looking forward to this series. Have read all those books with a ravenous hunger. Scotland has always been on my bucket list and the stones all throughout the ancient sites are a must see too. {where ever they may be on the modern maps}

How wonderful it will be to have such an amazing story brought to life on screen. Just wondering how they will ever find a real man to fill our Jamie’s large shoes. Can’t wait.
