Sam recently reached 300k followers on Twitter, and to celebrate that milestone, he did a fan Q&A from North Carolina, where he was on holiday visiting MacKenzie Mauzy.
300K followers!!! Can't thank you ALL enough!!
As promised I'll do a QnA later today!
6pm ET… does that work for you?#AskSam #thankU— Sam Heughan (@SamHeughan) December 1, 2016

(I believe this refers to Sam’s contractual agreement to not do dangerous risky things, so Jamie doesn’t have to have knee surgery in the middle of filming.)
Here’s this guy again, kind of stalkerish…?
Hi Sam. I was 2 years above you at drama school. On a scale of 1-10, how much would you say I inspired you? #AskSam @SamHeughan

Do you have a special scottish tradition for Christmas/New Year? #AskSam @SamHeughan
— Jossan (@champen87) December 1, 2016
Hogmanay. It's scottish New Year, arguably a larger "celebration" than xmas. And a LOT of fun with many traditions. #AskSam https://t.co/I07gmIvCXy
— Sam Heughan (@SamHeughan) December 1, 2016
That question was asked of Sam and Steven in a London Starfury panel, and here’s what Sam had to say…
Sam told us his favorite Scottish holiday is First Footing. This involves going from house to house after midnight on New Year’s Eve (well, New Year’s Day) to welcome in the New Year. Sam is from such a small town, that people would leave whisky and biscuits and then go out; so you would arrive to wish people a happy new year and find their house empty and open. You’d go in, have a drink and a wee snack, and then go on to the next house. He really loved that tradition. For more info on First Footing, CLICK HERE and HERE .

The end ?
Re: response about “no skiing”, I think the “ahem” says it all. That’s exactly what Mr. Heughan’s going to do on his break. Am getting used to SH’s tweet style & think he’s bringing it up because he’s already making plans or has them. Remember being caught hitching after hiking by Ann Forerster & Kilimanjaro only canceled due to filming schedule shift. He has said before that TPTB don’t like some of this stuff, but likely he’ll do it anyway.
