Outlander’s Claire Fraser: Queen of Women and the Ultimate Badass

James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser: King of Men, ovary exploder, giver of smoldering looks, and the one responsible for the shortness of breath among so many Outlander fans. I get it. Book Jamie is hot. Screen Jamie is hot. The man is like a greatest hits reel of women’s dreams around the world. But what…

“Goodbye Scotland!” – Outlander Wraps Filming in Scotland for Season 3

Written by: Morag Wright, Guest Contributor I have been to the small Ayrshire village of Dunure many times in the past 20 years – always with my husband, Sandy, and my two boys in tow.  It was a great place for paddling, fishing in rock pools and generally running the boys’ energy off before a picnic followed by…

You might recall that I had the great opportunity to travel back in time to the 1940s, all thanks to the magic of Outlander season 3 filming.  If you missed my first post detailing my day on the set in Glasgow last September, you can catch up here before continuing on my Outlandish adventure with me….

Outlander in Ayrshire: Season 3 Filming & a little Scottish History

  Usually, Outlander shooting locations are a well-guarded secret. But, of late, it’s been hard to hide when scenes were recently shot along Edinburgh’s Royal Mile and in the well-traveled closes (or alleys) along the Capital City’s main drag.

Outlander Action in Glasgow – the day I traveled back in time to the 1940s

It was 8:30 am on a crisp and sunny September morning in Glasgow. And there I was, at an Outlander film shoot. I could scarcely believe that all my planning, and a fair measure of good luck, had brought me here. I’d arrived in Scotland from Australia only two weeks before, and by now I…

Outlander on Break – Rounding up the Cast and Crew’s Holiday

Do you remember in elementary school when you returned from a blissful couple of weeks of freedom from homework assignments, annoying teachers and the daily academic routine to find your school chums buzzing loudly in the hallway about what they did over winter break? Commonplace were conversations about new toys received at Christmas or the hours spent…

Stylist for the Day – What Outlander’s Caitriona Balfe Could Wear to the Golden Globes…

  Editor’s note:  This weekend, amidst the parchedness of #Droughtlander, we will be granted a tiny drop of relief. No, it’s not a trailer (note to Starz: come out with it already!).  No, it’s not anything related to Outlander  season 3 whatsoever.  It is, however, an opportunity to see our stunning and oh-so-talented leading lady,…

What Outlander’s Jamie Gives Claire: Roots and Wings

Depending on the moment, our Outlander hero Jamie Fraser has been called many things — outlaw by those on both sides of the Jacobite cause, laird by the tenants he so lovingly serves, and, by Claire, the love of my life. Here in the 21st Century, many of us — including the writers of the Outlander…
