Clanlands

Graham McTavish

A road trip book with a difference. Stars of Outlander - Sam Heughan & Graham McTavish - explore Scotland, a land of raw beauty, poetry, feuding, music, history, and warfare. From their faithful camper van to boats, kayaks, bicycles, and motorbikes, join stars of Outlander Sam and Graham on a road trip with a difference, as two Scotsmen explore a land of raw beauty, poetry, feuding, music, history, and warfare. Unlikely friends Sam and Graham begin their journey in the heart of Scotland at Glencoe and travel from there all the way to Inverness and Culloden battlefield, where along the way they experience adventure and a cast of highland characters. In this story of friendship, finding themselves, and whisky, they discover the complexity, rich history and culture of their native country.

Whisky, Warfare, and a Scottish Adventure Like No Other

Brooke Lonegan

Feel like the TV show version of this is going to be a total blast, but I wanted more history and slightly less antics in the book- but could tell it was a fun format for these guys.

Melissa Palmer

This book was a fun read. The actors who play Jamie and Dougal went to Scotland to film their show Men in Kilts. Their bickering made me laugh out loud.

Heather Knight 

You have to get the audio book version! It’s such an enjoyable experience listening to Sam and graham talk back and forth and really brings the book to life! Any outlander fan will love this! You really learn a lot about Scotland and the Scottish clans, so if you’ve got any interest in that I totally recommend!

Kirby Drake

I sometimes had no idea what they were on about, but this was a hilarious and endearing story. Lots of fun!

Manon van Heumen

I don't think I have ever laughed this much and hard whilst reading a book. Absolutely brilliant.

Ilia Markov

I had high hopes about this (because I love Scotland), unfortunately, this book is a lot more about its authors and the show Outlander, than the "clan lands".

I guess if you're a fan of either of the two, you'll like it. (I've tried watching the show and the guys are slightly obnoxious...)

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER With a foreword by Diana Gabaldon. Two men. One country. And a lot of whisky. As stars of Outlander, Sam and Graham eat, sleep and breathe the Highlands on this epic road trip around their homeland. They discover that the real thing is even greater than fiction. Clanlands is the story of their journey. Armed with their trusty campervan and a sturdy friendship, these two Scotsmen are on the adventure of a lifetime to explore the majesty of Scotland. A wild ride by boat, kayak, bicycle and motorbike, they travel from coast to loch and peak to valley and delve into Scotland's history and culture, from timeless poetry to bloody warfare. With near-death experiences, many weeks in a confined space together, and a cast of unforgettable characters, Graham and Sam's friendship matures like a fine Scotch. They reflect on their acting careers in film and theatre, find a new awestruck respect for their native country and, as with any good road trip, they even find themselves. Hold onto your kilts... this is Scotland as you've never seen it before.

In Clanlands gaan de Schotse vrienden Sam Heughan en Graham McTavish, bekend van Outlander, met een roestige camper op een humoristisch avontuur om de natuur van Schotland te ontdekken. In Clanlands dompelen Sam Heughan en Graham McTavish, hoofdrolspelers van de Netflix-serie Outlander, zich met een epische trip door hun thuisland onder in de pracht van de Schotse Hooglanden. Clanlands is het verslag van deze reis. Met niet veel meer dan een roestige camper gaan de twee Schotse vrienden op avontuur en ontdekken ze de grootsheid van Schotland. De ervaring blijkt life changing te zijn. Per camper, boot, kajak en fiets reizen ze van kust naar meer en van vallei naar piek, terwijl ze zich laven aan de Schotse cultuur en geschiedenis: van bloedige oorlogen tot hemelse poëzie. De vele weken samen opeengepakt, een bijna-doodervaring en ontmoetingen met een scala aan bijzondere mensen doen de vriendschap tussen Sam en Graham rijpen als een goede single malt. Ze overdenken hun film- en theatercarrières, herontdekken hun geboorteland in al zijn grootsheid en bovenal vinden ze zichzelf. Clanlands van Sam Heughan en Graham McTavish heeft een voorwoord van de auteur van Outlander, Diana Gabaldon. ‘Zo verfrissend als de Schotse lucht in tijden van lockdown. De ideale bron voor je eerstvolgende trip door de Schotse Hooglanden. Aanrader!’ – The Scotman Magazine ‘Een briljante mix van anekdotes, geschiedenis en hilarische interacties.’ – Express ‘Deze odyssee is door de auteurs vol zelfspot bestempeld als “het verhaal van twee mannen die niets weten”. Maar in feite zijn beide heren bijzonder goed onderlegd in de Schotse geschiedenis.’ – Scotland on Sunday ‘Armchair travelling op z’n best, geschreven vanuit het unieke perspectief van dit humoristische Schotse duo.’ – BBC Scotland
