Because of your Outlander Series my daughter and I visited Scotland in 2015. We went to Doune Castle (Castle Leoch) and Culloden Field. We stood on the same spots where the movie was filmed and saw the view from on top of the Castle. Toured Culloden Field, the museum and saw the well of the dead along with the Clan markers. I must say it was a very moving experience. Your series is so historically accurate it was spooky reading the history of events on the museum walls. Thank you for such a wonderful adventure we will never forget.

I am a Canadian who has just started watching Outlander. Thank you for creating such a beautiful story line. I am not a history buff, but I look forward to seeing the history, language and art of Scotland, England and the New America brought forth from this beautiful series. The actors chosen for their roles are magnificent, truly artists and very enlightening. The scenery and portrayal of other countries and the history has been so exciting for me to see and hear. Thank you.
Would you at all consider having “Jamie, Claire and their families live in peace, contentment and be able to grow old together in the 1900’s”?
I am so involved and enamerd by the Jamie and Claire story that I would love a wonderful ending to a beautiful story. Just saying……..
Thank you again for all your hard work, your talent and artistry in writing novels.
Sincerely,
Cynthia

This morning as I walked into school, (I teach Middle School) a young man who is subbing (college student) was carrying DRUMS. I commented on it, and he replied his mom got him watching the TV series and now he is reading the books! So cool! It is amazing how the series has sparked such following for Outlandish things! [g] Although those of us who were there from the beginning (well, circa 200) are like what took ya so long!!
