AN INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'As the title
suggests, Waypoints is a rewarding mix of markers, both personal as
he reflects on his life and geographical as he leads the reader
along the West Highland Way' - The Scotsman 'A deeply personal and
warmly entertaining memoir that fans of Sam - and Scotland - will
have a joyful time devouring' - Heat 'From both his walk and his
career, the common lesson is the power of persistence.' - The Times
'A pleasure for fans of the author, whisky, and Scotland.' - Kirkus
'Waypoints is a memoir with a difference! I wanted to tell the
stories and share the experiences that have shaped me, but to do
that I needed to challenge myself and spend some time in my own
company, away from the distractions of everyday life. And for me
there's no better place to reflect than in the wild Scottish
Highlands.' In this journey of self-discovery, Sam Heughan sets out
along the West Highland Way to explore his heritage and reflect on
the personal waypoints that define him. The result is a love letter
to the wild Scottish landscape that means so much to Sam, and a
charming, funny, wise and searching insight to the world through
his eyes. The walk itself is the backdrop for this narrative, which
tells the story of Sam's life while exploring his outlook, values
and interests. Sam is a figure of fascinating contrasts, a
Hollywood star with deep roots in rural Scotland, he's both
outgoing and content in his own company. He has strong connections
with his fans while recognising the fragility and value of
anonymity, and in My Peak Challenge he has created a network that
brings people together as they chase individual goals. In his new
book, while charting a path through a stunning wilderness, Sam maps
out the moments that shaped his views on dreams and ambition,
family, friendships, love and life. Waypoints is a deeply personal
journey that reveals as much to Sam about himself as it does to his
readers.
Buckle up, grab a dram, and get ready for another unforgettable
wild ride. They're back! Stars of Outlander, Sam Heughan and Graham
McTavish are no strangers to the rugged beauty of Scotland. But
this time they're setting their sights on a new horizon: New
Zealand. Join our intrepid Scotsmen on their latest epic adventure
across The Land of the Long White Cloud in this thrilling follow-up
to Clanlands. Setting out to explore a country that Graham calls
home, and that Sam has longed to visit, these sturdy friends
immerse themselves in all that New Zealand has to offer: stunning
landscapes, rich history, world-class food and drink, and - much to
Graham's mounting anxiety and Sam's deep satisfaction - famously
adrenaline-fuelled activities! As ever there's not nearly enough
space in their trusty camper van and with plenty of good-natured
competition and tormenting to go around, Sam and Graham's
friendship is put to the test once again. Along the way we learn
about the length and breadth of this jewel of the Southern Seas,
exploring the fascinating story of its people while testing the
very limits of Graham's sanity. Like the very best buddy movie
sequel, this latest instalment is full of unforgettable experiences
and loveable characters and promises to be an even more memorable
ride with two of the most entertaining travel companions around.
So, say goodbye to your inhibitions and kia ora to New Zealand like
you've never seen it before.

With an army of nanotechnology in his veins, he’s an unstoppable force – stronger than ever and able to heal instantly. But in controlling his body, the company has sway over his mind and memories, too. Now, Ray doesn’t know what’s real and what’s not – but he’s on a mission to find out.
(Filmed on location in Cape Town, South Africa)
From his home in the Cairngorms of Scotland, Cameron McNeish
reflects on a life dedicated to the outdoors. A prolific author,
McNeish has led treks in the Himalayas and Syria, edited The Great
Outdoors Magazine, establishing it as Britain's premier walking
publication, created new long-distance walks and made television
series, contributed a monthly column to Scots Magazine, campaigned
for Scottish independence and raised a family with his wife, Gina.
In this long-awaited autobiography, he candidly recalls the ups and
downs of a full life, much of it in the public eye, much of it
until now unseen.

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
two Scotsmen are on the adventure of a lifetime to explore the
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.

A seasonal meander through the wilds of Scotland. 'If Clanlands was
a gentle road trip through Scotland, this almanac is a top down,
pedal to the metal up and down odyssey through the many byways of a
Scottish year. An invitation to anyone who picks up the book to
join us on a crazy camper van exploration over 12 glorious, whisky
fuelled months. Mountains, battles, famous (and infamous) Scots,
the alarming competitiveness of Men in Kilts, clans, feuds, flora,
fauna, with a healthy sprinkling of embarrassing personal
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
guide, The Clanlands Almanac is intended as a starting point for
your own Scottish discoveries.

- the site of a great massacre and major clan feud - and travel
from there all the way to Inverness and Culloden battlefield, where
along the way they experience adventure and a cast of highland
characters. In this story of friendship, finding themselves, and
whisky, they discover the complexity, rich history and culture of
their native country.
