We were lucky enough to get to meet and question Diane Gabaldon about the books and her plans for the future. We, of course, will never tell just anyone what the plans are from what she told us, but showing you around our Outlander countryside is as much fun for you as it is for us sharing it with you.
On this tour, we visit the famous Culloden Battlefield, Clava Cairns, Loch Ness, Beauly (home of the Frasers) and more.
