Deniz Bevan said...: By the way, I love your notable dates this month feature - it goes to show how little anyone knows of what's in store for them...; February 11, 2009 at 8:54 AM
Karen Henry said...: Hi Deniz:

I've never been to Scotland, so all I have to go by is pictures like this...and what I read in the books, of course. Sigh....

And I'm glad you're enjoying that feature of my blog. Jari Backman and I have been working together on those dates for the past few months.

Love the pics of the Blue Ridge Mountains, makes me homesick for my beloved Virginia where we can see the same sights as NC. Comparing the Scottish Highlands and NC mountains one can see why the Scots/Irish immigrants settled there and in Virginia and thought it looked similar to their lands in Scotland and Ireland.
Thanks

Karen Henry said...: Diana has said that Fraser's Ridge is in the general vicinity of Boone. (I don't think she's very precise about the exact location.) Which is why I picked that particular photo. <g>

About

My name is Karen Henry. I discovered the OUTLANDER books in 2006, and quickly became thoroughly addicted! I started this Outlandish Observations blog in August, 2008, as a central repository for news and information about Diana Gabaldon's books, including new and upcoming releases.

Things have changed a great deal in OUTLANDER fandom in recent years, with many new fans discovering the books as a result of the STARZ TV series. Whether you're a newcomer to OUTLANDER or you've been reading the books for 20+ years, one thing we all have in common is our love for these books and characters and this amazing story that Diana Gabaldon has created.
