Ratings and reviews

You won't be bored with these two. They clearly express their love of Scotland, its people and history. Animated, informative and fun to listen to. You come away with the yearning to visit Scotland and see it for yourself. I guarantee you'll listen to and read along more than once or twice.

I am a huge Outlander fan. As a Scottish woman of descent, I was offended. It was insecure and insincere. It reeked of money. It hurts to say this.

loved it. Sam and Graham did an amazing job they made it both funny and interesting you can tell how much the two of them get on.
