There was some artistic licensing happening when the author of the Outlander books, Diana Gabaldon, wrote the witch trial scene in the first Outlanderbook. It was also later portrayed in the show’s first season. This was when Laoghaire accused Geillis and Claire of witchcraft, mostly to get back at Claire for "stealing" Jamie from her. But the last...
The standing stones at Craigh Na Dun have a connection to most events in the series. From Claire going through the stones the first time, to the times she tried to make her way back to get to her own time. They played a role when she was reluctantly sent back to her time before Culloden to finally when she went back to Craigh Na Dun and reunited wi...
On a sweepingly romantic show like Outlander, it would be difficult to enjoy the passionate and steamy scenes if fans knew how bad everyone must have smelled. It isn’t portrayed really at all on the show, but in the 18th century, there were no toothbrushes, toothpaste, or even soap. It is only imaginable that, during that time, everyone would be de...
Claire was a World War II nurse before she went through the stones at Craigh Na Dun. When she first appears, the war had just ended. In the way the war’s ending was depicted in the series, it looked as if everything went back to normal soon after it ended.

There are weapons that either aid in offensive or defensive moves in a battle. So when going up against the enemy on the battlefield, a warrior should not only have an offensive weapon but a defensive weapon, as well. For the Jacobites not to have both was alarming for those who paid attention. Targe is an old-English word for a shield and during t...
This is actually a pretty big inaccuracy in Outlander. There are two Clan Frasers. One is the highland clan - Clan Fraser of Lovat - which is Jamie’s clan. And there is also a related lowland Fraser family. The Fraser of Lovat’s tartans were actually bold red and green in the clan’s kilts, but on the show, they instead wear gray and blue tartans. T...
Sure, there were plenty of mistakes made at the hands of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, the leader of the Jacobite Rebellion. The first one was he went to Scotland in pursuit of the crown with basically no army at the ready. He quite honestly, had no idea what he was really up against in his fight against England. He was not the best leader, either....
The way that the Jacobite Uprising was shown on Outlander, it seemed as though it was only England versus all of Scotland in the war. This heightened the tensions between many characters and made Claire’s arrival in Scotland as an English woman all the more frightening for the Scots. This is why Colum and Dougal were so concerned that she was actua...
Claire not only was a gifted nurse during WWII but became a gifted healer in the 18th century. But apparently, she could have had even more at her disposal when treating patients while in France in season 2. When Claire went to Master Raymond’s Apothecary during the time she spent in Paris with Jamie, she received many herbs and natural medicinals ...
