My first impressions of the book? I have to say the first couple of chapters felt a little contrived, more as if they were acting a part than telling their own real story. In the course of the book you will learn many terms for a hangover (endemic to the situation I think - a daily occurrence?) like Graham’s “I feel like a giant bat had shat inside my head” and that cute-sounding Scottish term for feeling sick, “peely-wally.” What could go wrong? How they didn’t all end up in hospital with liver damage at the end of it, I don’t know!
The story of two men and their cohorts roaming the countryside connected to an intravenous drip of whisky. Interesting, engaging, informative and often hilarious. It’s like sitting in on a long conversation between the two of them. When I heard that Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish were narrating their own book, that was an extra drawcard. They’re like old friends that I often have there in the background while walking, driving, doing the dishes - you get the picture. I’m a big fan of audiobooks and already have all the Outlander books in my audio library. (News flash! It’s going to be available soon!) Here’s why you should take on the book even if you’ve seen the show on STARZ. Since Men in Kilts has been slow in making its way to streaming services in the Land Down Under aka Australia, I jumped into the book, Clanlands, while waiting for access. Not sure whether you should read or listen to the Clanlands book accompanying the STARZ Men in Kilts show with Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish? This review should set you straight.
