'Outlander': A map from Visit Scotland gives fans a guide to the real country
鈥淥utlander鈥� fans: Are you struggling to keep all those Scottish locations straight in your mind or puzzling over the meaning of some of those Gaelic phrases?
Visit Scotland, the national tourism organization for the country, has you covered. Visit Scotland has created an interactive that identifies historical locations that pop up in the show like the Palace of Holyroodhouse, which pops up later in the 鈥淥utlander鈥� books. The map also provides links to information about Gaelic phrases and the history of other Scottish cultural norms like kilts and bagpipes. (TV show-only fans, beware 鈥� there are some spoilers for later books on the map.)
鈥淥utlander,鈥� which is based on the series of the same name by Diana Gabaldon, airs on Starz and centers on married World War II nurse Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe), who finds she has traveled back in time to eighteenth-century Scotland, where she meets warrior Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan). 鈥�Game of Thrones鈥� actor Tobias Menzies portrays Claire鈥檚 husband Frank Randall.
The show has already been renewed for a second season; the first will consist of 16 episodes, with eight airing this year and the rest appearing on TV sometime in 2015, according to .
