I am a HUGE fan of Diana Gabaldon and her Outlander series of books so I felt I needed to create a special board in her honour. A teacher I had in college suggested these books to me, and I bought the first book at a used book store and began my journey with Jamie and Claire, which was about a year ago. I have just started re-reading Outlander although there are very few books I read a second time. It seemed I read the series so quickly because I just could not wait to finish one and start the next so this time I am reading a bit more slowly and savoring each page, each chapter. If you have not read this series of books, I highly recommend them, especially if you are interested in history, Scotland, love, adventure, spirituality, time-travel, mystery and more. I doubt you will be disappointed.
here is a photo I found on webshots.com which shows the Leannach farmhouse, near Culloden, where Jamie waited with the other officers who had survived the battle.

The Bastille was famous in its day. In the public imagination, the Bastille was a dark hulk of a prison full of terror. Unlike other prisons, the inmates of the Bastille were largely important, or well-to-do, or liable to rouse the rabble.

The Scottish quaich (pronounced quake) is a shallow cup that has been used for centuries to offer guests a welcoming toast. The cup represented the host’s generosity, and the two-handled design symbolized the guest’s trustworthiness, as it left him unable to reach for a weapon. Today quaichs are often found at Scottish weddings and other milestone occasions. Our pewter welcome cup is handcrafted in Scotland with classic Celtic designs.

1775-1800 Toilet case. This painted wooden toilet case contains a variety of pots and bottles for scents and creams as well as tools including an earpick for cleaning the ears and a bodkin for threading ribbons or laces. The box would originally have been both brightly-coloured and shiny, contributing another layer of decoration to a fashionable bedroom or dressing room.
