Sam Heughan in a kilt has Twitter ablaze: The best reactions

Sam Heughan & Graham McTavish from Outlander are stars of a new Starz travel show, Men in Kilts: A Roadtrip with Sam and Graham. The show is centered around Scotland and is scheduled to come out on Valentine’s Day. Starz announced the show in June 2020, and we learned the first season will consist of eight, thirty-minute long episodes.

Heughan is known for his role as Jamie Fraser in Outlander. McTavish is known for playing Dougal MacKenzie. The two actors have become fan favorites, so it’s no wonder why the pair are creating a television show together. In November, the friends released a book called Clanlands: Whisky, Warfare, and a Scottish Adventure Like No Other.

Initially, Heughan & McTavish were going to create a podcast together. The idea was to make a podcast about the history & culture of Scotland. Heughan brought up the plan in an Instagram post last summer. However, the idea turned into the upcoming travel show we are all looking forward to next month. 

What Sam Heughan says about the show

Heughan & McTavish have talked about the upcoming show on Twitter and in interviews. “I wanted to do a podcast in my spare time, and I thought I’d shoot some visuals for it,” said Heughan to OprahMag. “The more I was getting into producing it, it’s the first thing I’d produced, and I really enjoyed it. So I decided to make it into a TV show! We’ve finished shooting and dare I say, I think it looks really fun.”

Christina Davis, president of original programming for Starz, released a statement about it. “The genuine curiosity and passion that Sam and Graham have for the landscapes they visit and the stories they uncover while traveling through the heart of Scotland makes Men in Kilts: A Roadtrip with Sam and Graham a truly enjoyable journey of discovery for the audience,” she said.

An official trailer came out recently and the official Twitter account for the show has been keeping fans on the edges of their seats. Here are some of the best reactions fans have had in response to Men in Kilts.

A fan responded with another photo of the pair with the caption “And as the new proverb goes: A picture of Sam and Graham a day keeps every ailment at bay!”
