Outlander 3×01 The Battle Joined

The episode opens with Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) waking up after the Battle of Culloden. In flashbacks he remembers the moments leading up to the battle, standing next to Bonnie Prince Charlie (Andrew Gower), the charge of the Highland army and his final encounter with Black Jack Randall (Tobias Menzies) on the battlefield.

In 1948, Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Frank (Tobias Menzies) are settling into life in Boston. Despite trying her best, Claire finds it increasingly difficult to adjust to modern amenities and the life of a respected wife of a Harvard professor. Tensions between her and Frank rise as they both realize that Claire can’t forget the father of her unborn child.

Back on Culloden Moore in the 18th century, the last remaining Highland soldiers are found by British government troops, who are ordered to execute the survivors. However, the commanding officer, Lord Hal Melton (Sam Hoare), recognizes Jamie as the man who saved his younger brother’s life and reluctantly repays his brother’s debt of honour.

These are the questions we’ve received so far. We cannot wait to hear which ones Andrew will answer – and what his answers will be!

  • Favourite comfort food?
  • What meal would his mom cook for him as a treat?
  • If he had to choose: Scouse or haggis?
  • Can he cook himself & if so, what’s his go-to meal?
  • Is he a picky or an adventurous eater?
  • What’s the most exotic food he’s ever tried?
  • Why are crisps his room 101 (“1984”)? Wondering about this ever since we read this interview!

Outlander’s Andrew Gower backs the real Jacobite Trail

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.”
