Author Description

It's time to get ready for Scotland. Many fans of the Outlander novels and television series long to explore Scotland. Travels Beyond Outlander is a starting point for that journey. Whether you are an armchair traveler or a set-jetter, this book is an independent guide to experiencing some of the most memorable places in a country filled with castles, kirks, lochs, mountains, and adventure. The special places included here are not simply a top ten list or a best of Scotland guide. There are just too many sights to pretend any one book can serve up every location worth a visit. Instead, Travels Beyond Outlander is a Scottish sampler of wonderful places to help focus your travel dreams. We have included a handful of film locations from the STARZ Outlander series and some special places related to Diana Gabaldon's Outlander novels. But just as important, we explore some amazing Scottish destinations that are beyond Outlander. For although it may be Outlander that draws you to Scotland, once you arrive you will discover a country where you can make your own stories and create a personal travel experience. Travels Beyond Outlander is an experiential guidebook including more than 70 special places in Scotland, with over 120 beautiful color photos, firsthand descriptions, bits of history and local legends. Written by the authors of Beyond Downton Abbey, Let's Take the Kids to London, and Portugal - A Tale of Small Cities travel guidebooks.
