Description
We finish our pick of episodes from the archives with this conversation between Jackie and actor Sam Heughan, first released in 2022.
The Dumfries and Galloway-born Outlander star, who has also launched his own whisky brand and became a New York Times bestselling author in 2020, joined Jackie to discuss his on-screen adventures at some of Scotland’s most famous historical sites. They also talked about the effect Outlander has had on the global interest in Scottish stories.

Hear all of that – and an excerpt from Sam’s book, Waypoints: My Scottish Journey – in the episode.
Love Scotland will return with brand new episodes later in 2024.
