How historically accurate is Outlander? Why are Scotland's native languages still so fiercely debated? And what makes the Hebrides one of the country's most extraordinary places?
In this episode of This is Scotland with The Scots Magazine, Ally Heather and Coinneach MacLeod, the Hebridean Baker, explore the remarkable legacy of Outlander, revealing how Diana Gabaldon's meticulous research helped create one of the world's most successful historical dramas - and why fans continue to flock to Scotland in search of Jamie Fraser.
The conversation then turns to Scotland's languages, as Ally and Coinneach discuss the histories of Gaelic and Scots, why both matter today, and how other countries have successfully protected their native tongues.
Finally, they head to the Hebrides to share some of their favourite places to visit, before ending with another fascinating tale from Scotland's past.
Expect history, humour, travel inspiration and lively debate as they uncover the stories that continue to shape Scotland today.
Whether you live in Scotland, have Scottish roots, or simply love the country, This Is Scotland is your place to feel connected to the real Scotland.
