clutches of Smaug the dragon. After setting out on their quest from
the safety of Bag End, the band of travellers soon find themselves

Extended versions of all three films from director Peter Jackson's
blockbuster prequel to 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy. Set in
Middle-Earth 60 years before events in 'The Lord of the Rings',
'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' (2012) follows the adventures
of Hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), who, at the instigation
of the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen), suddenly finds himself
co-opted into joining a company of 13 Dwarves led by Thorin
Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) to help reclaim the Dwarves' lost
kingdom of the Lonely Mountain from the clutches of a dragon. After
setting out on their quest from the safety of Bag End, the band of
travellers soon find themselves pitted against a range of strange
and fearsome opponents, in addition to a small, slimy creature
known simply as Gollum (Andy Serkis). In 'The Hobbit: The
Desolation of Smaug' (2013), while Gandalf heads south on his own,
Bilbo, Thorin and the Dwarves enter the treacherous Mirkwood Forest
on their way to the mountain. When they reach Lake-town Bilbo has
to perform the role he was assigned at the start of the quest - to
find a secret door that will lead him to the lair of Smaug the
dragon (voice of Benedict Cumberbatch). In the final instalment,
'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies' (2014), Bilbo, Thorin
and the other Dwarves have unintentionally released Smaug from the
Lonely Mountain and endangered the residents of Lake-town. Bilbo
has to make a difficult decision when Thorin puts his desire to
find the royal jewel Arkenstone before his loyalty to his friends.
Meanwhile, Gandalf discovers that the evil Sauron has returned,
commanding a horde of Orcs to attack the Lonely Mountain. Bilbo and
his friends must fight for their survival as five armies meet in
battle. The rest of the cast includes Luke Evans, Cate Blanchett,
Orlando Bloom, Evangeline Lilly and Christopher Lee.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER With a foreword by Diana Gabaldon. Two
men. One country. And a lot of whisky. As stars of Outlander, Sam

trip around their homeland. They discover that the real thing is
even greater than fiction. Clanlands is the story of their journey.
Armed with their trusty campervan and a sturdy friendship, these

majesty of Scotland. A wild ride by boat, kayak, bicycle and
motorbike, they travel from coast to loch and peak to valley and
delve into Scotland's history and culture, from timeless poetry to
bloody warfare. With near-death experiences, many weeks in a
confined space together, and a cast of unforgettable characters,
Graham and Sam's friendship matures like a fine Scotch. They
reflect on their acting careers in film and theatre, find a new
awestruck respect for their native country and, as with any good
road trip, they even find themselves. Hold onto your kilts... this
is Scotland as you've never seen it before.

reminiscences thrown in. Much is explored, all is shared. It is a
camper van cornucopia of all things Alba'. From First Footing to
Samhain, Fringe Festival follies to whisky lore, Sam & Graham
guide readers through a year of Scottish legends, traditions,
historical and contemporary events, sharing personal stories and
tips as only these two chalk-and-cheese friends can. As
entertaining as it is practical, The Clanlands Almanac is a
light-hearted education in Scottish history and culture, told
through the eyes of two passionate Scotsmen. The perfect escapist
