OUTLANDER actor Sam Heughan has announced he will be releasing a “memoir with a difference” later this year.
The TV star told his Instagram followers on Thursday night that he would be releasing the book, entitled “Waypoints”.
Heughan has previously co-authored two books (Clanlands and The Clanlands Alamanac) with his Men in Kilts and Outlander co-star Graham McTavish.
This will be his first solo foray into the writing world, with a release date currently set for October 25, 2022.
Heughan wrote on Instagram: “Ready to come on this journey with me?
“I wanted to write a memoir with a difference. ‘Waypoints’ takes you on a personal journey through my life, whilst I walk 100 miles through the Highlands of Scotland. Excited and nervous. I can’t wait to share with you my new adventure!”
He added separately: “I wanted to tell the stories and share the experiences that have shaped me, but to do that I needed to challenge myself and spend some time in my own company, away from the distractions of everyday life. And for me there's no better place to reflect than in the wild Scottish Highlands.”
The book is available to pre-order here.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
