Description

Two friends. One campervan. And plenty of whisky.

This is the hilarious true story of a Scottish adventure like no other.

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.

  • History, Scotland, and Mild to Moderate Insanity

    Even though I’m not an Outlander fan, this book was hilarious. I couldn’t stop laughing at the banter between Sam and Graham, and the hijinx they managed to get up to. Next time I’m having a bad day, I’m just going to read a chapter of this and things will certainly be brighter. If you’re into history, Scotland, or mild to moderate insanity, this book is for you!!!
  • Surprisingly funny and sweet

    I had no idea Graham McTavish could be so funny and laugh so much at himself. I expected the hijinks from Sam, but, perhaps not the tenderness. This is a lovely recounting of two men who actually love one another on a journey of unscripted comedic proportions. I highly recommend it!
