Actor Sam Heughan was gifted something meaningful and traditional – a kilt—on the final day of filming Outlander’s last episode a few weeks ago. This new piece will find its place among his collection of kilts at his home in Scotland, which he proudly wears on occasion. “It’s quite freeing to wear a kilt, and it’s warm,” says the 44-year-old actor in a recent interview, adding, “I am a true Scotsman.” Like Heughan himself, his character Jamie Fraser embodies that Scottish heritage, making kilts a symbolic and practical choice.

Jamie Fraser returns with new adventures in Outlander as eight new episodes premiere on November 22 on TV , marking the second half of Season 7. With the eighth and final season scheduled to air potentially in 2026 , fans can expect a heartfelt and emotional ride. “Bring your whiskey and your tissues,” Heughan teases, hinting at the drama and passion at Midhope castle Lallybroch.

The upcoming episodes are a journey back to the roots of the story. Claire (played by Caitríona Balfe) and Jamie, alongside their nephew Ian (John Bell), return to
Lallybroch castle Scotland, reuniting with familiar places, including their ancestral estate, Lallybroch. The homecoming is a powerful moment for both the characters and the audience, steeped in nostalgia and a sense of belonging. Yet, the joy is fleeting. The story remains largely anchored in the American Revolutionary War era, which poses a series of challenges and separations for the beloved couple. In a dramatic twist, Claire is called back to Scotland ahead of Jamie, leaving the two separated not just by an ocean but by the unpredictable forces of fate.

Jamie Fraser has transformed significantly throughout the series, evolving from a young, passionate man into a seasoned, battle-hardened soldier. This season explores the weight of that maturity as he fights for America during a turbulent time. Reflecting on his character’s aging, Heughan jokes, “Are you asking what it is like to grow old … as Jamie?” before adding more seriously, “It’s wonderful to find that maturity in him. He knows why he is here, which is the joy of aging.”

Heughan, now contemplating his future career steps from the comfort of his home in Scotland, has learned to appreciate the deeper themes that Outlander has explored over the years. No doubt his film career will continue with new projects . SAS: Red Notice, the 2021 action film starring Heughan will be getting a sequel. Outlander Season 7B, in particular, brings the story full circle, returning to its roots in the Scottish Highlands. This return to Scotland, Heughan believes, holds a universal appeal. “I love this idea that you can go back again,” he says. “It’s that feeling of looking at your old home or school. I recommend it for anyone.” The act of revisiting familiar places, he argues, can be profoundly grounding and healing, echoing the series’ central themes of time, place, and belonging.
