Clanlands by Sam Heughan
*THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* With a foreword by Diana Gabaldon. When Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish hit the road, they are not following a script. They are chasing adventure. Armed with a campervan, a shared history and plenty of curiosity, they set out to explore the Scotland that lies beyond the clichés. What follows is a fast moving, whisky fuelled journey through dramatic landscapes and untold stories. They battle the elements on windswept coastlines, cross remote Highland glens and dive headfirst into the legends that shaped a nation. From bloody clan warfare to stirring poetry and centuries old traditions, every stop reveals a new side of Scotland. But the real story unfolds between them. Cramped conditions, unexpected detours and a fair share of chaos push their friendship to its limits, and then strengthen it in ways neither expected. Packed with humour, history and unforgettable moments, this is Scotland at full throttle. Bold, beautiful and alive. A journey that will leave you wanting more.
