Outlander’s Andrew Gower backs the real Jacobite Trail

OLEmmyBPC

Scotsman.com reports about Andrew’s promotion for the new “Jacobite Trail”, which links 26 historic sites across Scotland associated with Bonnie Prince Charlie’s ill-fated campaign.

(Andrew) Gower, who recently attended the Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobites exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland, said he had only been to one site on the trail – Stirling Castle.

He added: “There is only one I have visited and I am really annoyed about that. This tour I think is an amazing thing for anyone who wants to get inside the Jacobite and Bonnie Prince Charlie journey.”
