*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.

Reviews
'A breath of fresh Scottish air in lockdown, it's one to stick in your sporran and consult when compiling your wishlist of places to escape to once restrictions are lifted.'
The "Outlandish" tour of Scotland with Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish is the armchair adventure we all need right now.
This book is full of anecdotes, history and hilarious interactions between the pair as they travel around Scotland in their trusty campervan.
A breezy roadtrip full of banter between the chalk-and-cheese friends.
For anyone who wants to know more about Scotland's past or hear the inner monologues of two fine gentlemen, this provides a warm and wicked adventure in a magical land.
Their odyssey is self-deprecatingly styled as "the story of two men who know nothing". In fact, Heughan and particularly McTavish are keen students of Highland history
A joyously eclectic mix of historical trivia, travel diary and journey of self-discovery.
The actors have a lovely dynamic, which is as enjoyable in the book as it promises to be in the upcoming TV series.
Clanlands is a must for anyone who loves Scotland... a riotous, engaging and dynamic journey.
'It all comes across as fun-loving and tongue-in-cheek and that's what raises this book above the usual Scottish history/travel books that have become so prominent.'
