I know she has - it's a big part of why I love the books. I first went to Scotland in 1968 as a kid (the year Claire went back and Geillie went, if I'm not mistaken). My mother was mad about the Highlands, so I know a bit about the place. If the books were inaccurate, I wouldn't like them. Are you enjoying the Starz series? I am.
Cathleen Kelly I sure am! It's great to see the characters come to life and the scenery of the Highlands is absolutely gorgeous! My only complaint is that an hour-long episode is too short! LOL
Proud to hold the name Frizzell, the ancient form of Fraser. 11th generation of James Frissel son of Andrew 2nd Lord Fraser, exiled to America as a prisoner of the English after the Battle of Dunbar in 1652. The oldest Fraser line in America. Simon the Fox is a Cousin of mine and Simon the Patriot ( Who was Drawn and Quartered with William Wallace is my great Uncle.
"The evils of the Jacobites" sounds kind of like a roundabout way to say the evils of the British empire because that's who actually killed an innocent
Interesting video. I like how the Scottish presenter speaks, not pan loafy and no annoying Glasgow accent.
Clan Fraser has such an interesting history. I have really enjoyed it.
Everyone should read Kidnapped by R.L. Stevenson.
It's set during the Apin years.
God bless red jammie
I love Scottland and Scottish.
He is buried at Tower Hill the body that you are looking at was later to be discovered as a 30-year-old woman
I always thought the 'Old Fox' had ordered the 'Young Fox' to stay out of the Rising, in case Charlie lost - though I can't remember why I thought it.
Have you read the "Outlander" series?
Aye, lassie, that must be where I got it!
Cathleen Kelly Diana Gabaldon goes into quite an accurate description of the "Old Fox" and "Young Fox"....she has done a lot of research.
