Claire Beauchamp Randall, a nurse in World War II, mysteriously travels back in time to Scotland in 1743. There, she meets a Highland warrior and is drawn into an epic rebellion. Moore (the TV series' developer), his team decided to keep the words in Gaelic rather than translate them into English. This kept the narrative in the first person while showing Claire's inability to understand Gaelic. This idea was suggested by producer David Brown, who said he had seen something similar in Skin Deep (1998), a foreign alternative film starring actor and singer Gustavo Goulart.
The opening music changes from season to season to reflect what is happening in the story
In some episodes, the characters say "OK", an American term that did not come into use until the 19th century. In the first half of season 2 (which is set in France), some of the lyrics are in French. In the second half of season 2 (which is mostly about preparing for war), a militaristic drum roll is added to the opening music. During Season 3, tribal drums are added because much of the season is set in the West Indies. In Season 4, bluegrass fiddle and banjos are added, plus some lyrics are sung in a Southern accent because the season is set primarily in America.
Featured in Outlander: An Epic Adaptation (2015)
The Skye Boat Song (uncredited) Traditional Scottish air with lyrics by Sir Harold Boulton New lyrics by Robert Louis Stevenson. For the past 23 years, Outlander has been a presence in my life. I’ve read it countless times, in fact I started reading it again yesterday. I’m proud and humbled to be one of the original Seven Ladies of Lallybroch, associated with one of the first global groups dedicated to Diana Gabaldon and the Books. For decades, the idea of a film version of The Books has teased and teased us, flirting with our imaginations and hopes.
Now, it’s here
And here it is. Every detail is brilliant—the script, the costumes, the sets, and yes, the actors. The Series is a visual companion to The Books, and a blessing companion. It is also an adaptation, not a literal recitation. Faithfulness to our beloved characters and story is ensured by Diana’s continued involvement in the creative process.
Caitriona Balfe truly IS Claire, just as Sam Heughan IS Jamie
She is fiercely protective of her story and, in the process, her fans – who are legion and legendary. A glass to Ron Moore, Maril Davis and the entire team (Terry for the incredible costumes) for giving us Our Outlander…
