World Outlander Day falls on June 1 each year with fans the world over paying tribute to the epic love story between Jamie (played by Sam Heughan ) & Claire Fraser (Caitriona Balfe ). This was the date Diana Gabaldon published her first novel way back in 1991 #WorldOutlanderDay

Fantasy meets reality as Glasgow University hosts dedicated #Outlander conference. (The series has done more for Scottish tourism than decades of conventional advertising).
