Summary

A road trip book with a difference. Stars of Outlander - Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish - explore Scotland, a land of raw beauty, poetry, feuding, music, history and warfare.

Narrated by Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish, with a foreword written and read by Diana Gabaldon.

From their faithful camper-van to boats, kayaks, bicycles and motorbikes, join stars of Outlander Sam and Graham on a road trip with a difference.

Unlikely friends Sam and Graham begin their journey in the heart of Scotland at Glencoe and travel from there all the way to Inverness and Culloden battlefield, where along the way they experience adventure and a cast of highland characters. In this story of friendship, finding themselves and whisky, they discover the complexity, rich history and culture of their native country.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A real Heart Warmer

Whilst loving Dianna Gabaldon's novels I was slightly sceptical about this book; how could it live up to my expectations, these guys are actors not writers!

However loving Scotland, its history, the banter and obvious genuine friendship between Sam & Graham I thought I would give it a go.

How wrong I was to be sceptical - I haven't finished the Audio book yet but I was transfixed from the very beginning. I have really chuckled my way through a couple of hours already which, at this present crazy time is just what I needed.

Brilliantly composed, produced and obviously superbly narrated!

This book is not just for the ladies, guys you will love it too - don't hesitate

A truly charming story

by two great friends, and Outlander stars, of their journey around Scottland digging into the highland culture. and sharing bits of their personal stories. Witty an humerous told by them. A must read. Their lighthearted, companionable bantering will make you laugh aloud

Lots of fuss over not so much

I was quite disappointed with the story and with the performance of Graham in the audiobook. I struggled to find the main thread of the book which, in my opinion, relied mostly on the plot, characters and making of Outlander. I thought we would get to read/listen to a strong and educating story of the history of Scotland and its main sights spiced up with Sam’s and Graham’s insights but instead the book consisted of random ramblings bouncing from the events and shooting locations of Outlander to the writers’ personal/work life experiences. Too many supposed-to-be-funny cutting remarks to one another, too little meat to the story. There must have been a dozen remarks on ”I’m six foot this and that”. Oh, come on, how childish is that? You’re not the only tall people out there. And why, oh why is Graham whispering all the time in the audio book? One has to pump up the volume to hear what he’s saying and that’s really annoying. Sam’s reading was very good.

just couldnt listen to anymore.....

I was really disappointed I was expecting a road trip with a cultural and heritage story, It turned out a bit of a macho ' this is how much we drank the night before and how much we can drink today' with smattering of 'colourful language'.
I think if you are an Outlander fan you will find it much more relevant. I didn't finish the 'audiobook', I lasted seven chapters so it might of got better but the two authors had lost me by then !

What an EPIC Adventure!

I Laughed out loud so many times while reading along to the unabridged narrative, such a joy to hear you both and be a part of this journey. I adore Scotland, yes long before Outlander came along although I have read all of the books, it is the story in the land it's self that captured me, the story set in the stone. That sense of being overwhelmed and caught at the throat with emotion and tears happened to me the first time I visited Culloden and so too in the Scottish Borders. Sam is a rascal who loves mischief and pranks, had it been me I might have clipped him around the noggin a time or two. Now to be sure I can't wait for Men in Kilts to hit the screens.

Fun,silly, interesting, laugh out loud with heart

Very enjoyable listen, it's two thespians talking about their life's and what scotland means to them, has lots of interesting historical information intertwined with lots of larking about.
It's not about Outlander as such, but the reason they met, became friends and embarked on this journey is because of the show, I think it would help if you have seen series 1+2, tho not essential in enjoying the bromance, good story's and insight into being Scottish, being an actor, being stalked by crazy fans, what it's like to make a TV show and of course a bit of history of the Highland clans.

A Spirit lifter, & real reflector of this great land!!

Thank you men, for writing and performing the perfect companion for these times!!

Truth be told I’ve only seen a bit of Outlander, and was drawn to this more by a buddy road trip around Scotland, and of course the Whisky!!

I will be recommending this to others of my ilk, not least in my whisky tastings and of course Xmas shopping!!

Everyone get this, your alive let’s go!!
