Today marks the 272nd anniversary of the Battle of Culloden, which as we all know, effectively ended the Highland way of life in Scotland.

In the Spirit of Gratitude, What Do You Love About Outlander?
Wowza, that last piece ended up being a real doozy, sparking a lot of conversation – some friendly, and some got a bit contentious. Why is that?
