Jenny Jeffries

Following Claire Jenny Jeffries

This is the black and white version of a travel narrative that is a light-hearted romp through filming locations for the series 'Outlander' and then on into the Highlands, by a New Zealander who cannot get enough of Scotland. In May 2015 Jenny leaves from Auckland for Edinburgh and then daily records her trip as she drives herself around, following her impulses and the meandering roads of her ancestral home. Follow her, as she 'Follows Claire', the protagonist of Diana Gabaldon's 'Outlander', who went through standing stones in 1945 to find herself in the Highlands in 1743. Some of this story is devoted to revisiting the filming locations for the series, and recounting the fun of a UK Outlander Gathering that happened in Crieff. The rest of the narrative is a humorous account of her daily impressions of the Highlands and Outer Hebrides from the point of view of a New Zealander cast adrift on that far distant shore.
