Clanlands by Sam Heughan and Grahm McTavish

The audio book Clanlands is read by its authors and is an enjoyable over view of the Starz television series that was launched on Valentines Day.  I am particularly interested in the book and the series because my son and daughter in law have made plans to take me to Northern Ireland and Scotland.  It was to be March 2021 but COVID stopped the trip so I have time to study up on the area as the trip has now been rescheduled for March of 2022.  I am a big "Outlander" fan and we plan to see many of the filming sites of "Outlander".  We also want to see other historical sites and the Northern Ireland sites where some scenes of "Game Of Thrones" was filmed.  Clanlands is a very light hearted book that weaves some great historical information throughout it in an enjoyable way.  I recommend it to those who are not serious history students but want an over view of Scotland and its back ground presented in way that isn't heavy.  It whetted my appetite for more information.  In searching online I found a class that interested me and I seem to have accidentally signed up for it.  It is free but not at a real great time for me to fit in.  I hope I can spend enough time at it to get some good information from the material.  The link to that free online class about Scotland can be found HERE.  Please click on the book title and author's names above for links to more information and enjoy the video that follows.  And I hope you read or listen to the book and catch the series on Starz.
