OUTLANDER fans will be able to view the highly anticipated new docuseries from Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish in just a matter of weeks, it has emerged.

Men in Kilts focuses on the pair as they travel through Scotland, exploring the country’s history, heritage, and traditional offerings.

In recent interviews about the show in the US, the actors have promoted Scottish independence and described the new series as their “love letter” to Scotland.

While Men in Kilts is not actively political, it does touch on the nation's links to Europe – after Scotland was dragged out of the EU against its wishes – and champions everything the country has to offer.

“I think, hopefully, the stories that we tell and the love letter that we give to Scotland with the show speaks to our own views on independence without banging a drum about it,” McTavish told the LA Times.

Heughan added: “I’m not a politician … I’m wary of actors being asked of their politics or their stance — but also, why not?

“Especially when we’re doing a show about Scotland and Scottish heritage and culture. It’s something to be proud of …

“Nationalism, I think, is not a good thing and we’ve seen the rise of it in America. But actually Scottish nationalism is slightly different. It’s not about closing borders, it’s about being open to the rest of the world and not being insular.”

Just this week Heughan, 40, told the Cultural Coven podcast that Scotland has a “great opportunity” ahead of it through independence.

Heughan is best known for his role as Jamie Fraser on Outlander, while McTavish plays Dougal MacKenzie in the first two seasons and William MacKenzie in the fifth season.

The National:

According to the Men In Kilts synopsis, the new programme will see the pair “reunite for an epic adventure, exploring their heritage and meeting an incredible collection of people who truly showcase what it means to be Scottish”.

The half-hour episodes will touch on everything from Scottish clans and the Battle of Culloden, to whisky tasting and ceilidh dancing, with “Sam and Graham’s witty banter and hijinks leading the way”.

The programme will premiere on Amazon Prime Video’s premium service StarzPlay on May 9.
