What will happen in Men in Kilts?
Hot off the back of their New York Times best-selling book, Clanlands, Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish will be showing Outlander fans around their homeland of Scotland.
Heughan, who is best known for his role as Jamie Fraser in Starz Outlander comes from Dumfries and Galloway and McTavish, who played the role of Dougal MacKenzie, hails from Glasgow.
The eight-part series, described as a “love letter” to Scotland, will see the pair travel their home country, exploring Scottish history and culture, with plenty of whiskey and kilts along the way.
The pair will learn Highland traditions from the locals alongside exploring the country’s beautiful landscape.

They will travel by car and boat to visit many of Scotland’s castles alongside the beauty spots of Glencoe, Inverness and the famous Culloden battlefield.
Originally, the series was supposed to be a podcast, known as Clan Lands which quickly became Men in Kilts: A Roadtrip with Sam and Graham.
The synopsis for the series reads: “Created by the two Scotsmen, Men in Kilts: A Roadtrip With Sam and Graham promises a celebration of Scottish history and culture as Heughan and McTavish take viewers along on their adventures, discovering the rich, complex heritage of their native country, meeting various local artisans and experts, and experiencing genuine moments of awe and fascination as the duo share their travels with the audience rather than simply guiding them.”
Fans have taken to Twitter to share their excitement for the new series.
One fan tweeted: “@SamHeughan @grahammctavish Holy moly!!! It looks AMAZING guys!!! It’s just gonna be complete mayhem!!!! Soo exciting!! CAN. NOT. WAIT!!! #MenInKilts “Make it So” lol !!!”

When is Outlander season 6 out?
Whilst Men in Kilts may put a temporary halt to Droughtlander, fans are still eagerly awaiting news of season six.
Season five premiered in February 2020 and fans were anticipating season six to drop this year.
Unfortunately, as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, filming for season six was postponed and sadly, Outlander season six is unlikely to arrive this year.
Speaking to Town and Country Magazine in September 2020, executive producer Maril Davis confirmed: “This Droughtlander will continue for a wee bit longer than usual.”
