Read: The Clanlands Almanac (#06-2022)

The Clanlands Almanac

The Clanlands Almanac: Seasonal Stories from Scotland by Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish

(companion to Clanlands and the Men In Kilts TV series)

This is an anthology of history, geography, stories, thoughts and conversations from Sam and Graham with tidbits of information about Outlander and their own histories and lives. Separated into months with a Dram of the Month and Clan of the month section in each, and a list of historically significant dates this is an interesting companion to the escapades we've seen previously from Sam and Graham.

I Read: Clanlands

Clanlands by Sam Heughan & Graham McTavish
Clanlands: Whisky, Warfare, and a Scottish Adventure Like No Other by Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish

When talk first started swirling about Sam & Graham having gone on a road trip and filmed it for a TV series a lot of people were pretty excited. When we found out the release of said TV series was going to be longer than we'd hoped we were disappointed - until we learned there was going to be a book!

There was no doubt that I was going to read this from the minute I found out about it. I was intrigued by the characters they'd played on Outlander, and have become even more interested in their other appearances and ventures. Both are very interesting people. And in this book, they're also talking about a country with a really interesting history - part of which is my history.
