Listened to the audiobook and the way they both narrated their journey added so much to the story! Also very informative, I learned some new stuff.
I believe this is only interesting if you’ve watched the Outlander TV show to be honest because they regularly refer to some of the scenes and they tell us about themselves which is uninteresting if you don’t have some kind of connection to them.

This is a brilliant piece about two friends who take a journey together to discover more about their shared history. The audio book allowed listeners to enjoy the often hilarious situations our narrators get themselves into.
This book is a love letter to Outlander fans. The audio version is absolutely fantastic. Sam and Graham are obviously good friends and they took us on a whirlwind tour of Scottish sites central to both Outlander and Scottish history. Their banter was laugh out loud funny and I am so glad I listened to the audiobook even though I bought the physical book. Highly recommend! Can’t wait for the series on Starz.
PS Of the many monikers Graham has for Sam, the best one has to be Sir Ginger of the Nuts :-)

An immensely hilarious book
I will buy anything related to Outlander and this is a profound book, along the lines of the Ewan McGregor/Charlie Boorman, Billy Connolly or Bill Bryson books.
But at the heart of this is the great friendship between Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish. The endless teasing and snide remarks will have you laughing within the first couple of pages and there was a point where I was laughing so hard, that I was crying. They just take the absolute pee out of each other constantly and other members of the Outlander cast as well. (Duncan Lacroix - Murtagh - being described as Outlander’s answer to Oliver Reed was genius.)
This book takes you through different parts of Scotland, via different modes of transport (not all of them Lady McTavish ended up in). Some places I was aware of (they walk on Culloden towards the end of the book) but others I wasn’t, and have definitely made me curious about some of the places they visited. They discuss various clan fights and many famous figures who also ended up between the pages of Outlander and on screen too. There are lots of anecdotes about Outlander itself and many more about each star’s acting career up until this, while not feeling too biographical. It does feel like they try to outdo themselves with name dropping quite frequently (Sylvester Stallone, Brian Blessed, Vin Diesel, Peter Jackson etc) but this may have been the camaraderie between the two.
But at the heart of this book, some of which was written during the lockdown/COVID situation that we are currently in the midst of, is a real reflection of their lives. Whether it’s being forced to slow down and not have multiple projects on the go at once, or spending more time with family/friends/children or drinking more, you feel that the two actors, like many others, will come out the other side of this changed.
A really excellent book, that has made me want to see more of my home country once all this craziness is over.

Je l’ai lu sur Audible, et on entends donc Sam Heughan et Graham Mctavish lire leur roman! Étant fan d’Outlander, le livre nous donne plein de petites anecdotes sur la série, leur production de Men in Kilt , leurs co-stars, eux même et bien sur l’Ecosse. Lecture très agréable donc ! Je ne pense pas que la lecture soit appropriée si on ne connaît pas la série ou les acteurs, elle n’aurait pas grand intérêt
As a fan of both Sam and Graham, I enjoyed listening to this audiobook on a long drive with my mom. We watched Men in Kilts together before visiting Scotland this year, and both found this entertaining. A bit all over the place, but a fun, enjoyable read/listen.
