Like you, I fell in love with Outlander towards the beginning of the series and can't get enough of reading the books by Diana Gabaldon. The books are definitely the best, but I do love watching the actors portray the characters on screen. Brings them alive. It is my hope and dream to be able to visit Scotland someday. Maybe find where my own ancestors lived at one time. Find out if there are still family members there I'm not aware of. It's too much to hope for at this point, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Isn't it amazing the number of islands surrounding Scotland?! Some that are even inhabited!! I LOVE reading about it when I can get reliable information. If you haven't read his new book yet, Sam Hueghan has written a new book about growing up Scottish. In fact, he and Graham McTavish both have released two books recently about Scotland. Very informative.

Thank you, yes it amazes me how they managed to draw maps without today's technological advantages.

The vintage maps are fascinating. Its amazing how they must have devised ways to draw maps when they did not have any aerial system to capture land, mountains, rivers etc
Thank you for sharing it with us at Meraki Link Party.
