Sam Heughan And Graham McTavish Explain How Their Outlander Characters Inspired Men In Kilts

Sam Heughan: We were lucky enough to work together on a show Outlander.

Graham McTavish: You are the interloping nephew who is just a bit of a pain. I am the war chief.

Heughan: I love Scotland and I’ve obviously spent a lot of time here shooting Outlander. Along that period I’ve seen some amazing, incredible places, experienced some great things and I kind of wanted to share it with everyone.

McTavish: Yeah I feel that too. You and I, we’ve got the same thirst for adventure as our characters. Outlander is a wonderful show, but what is portrayed in the show is truthful in many ways but it is still ( I wasn’t necessarily thinking of the time travel bit) but the truth about Scotland is so much more interesting I think and more exciting than anything that could be portrayed in any fiction. For example, on Outlander, we didn’t tap into the more distinguished portion of our pallet.
