    Folks,

    If you wish to continue discussions specifically about the dirks, broadswords and other weapons used in the show, would you please start another thread in the weapons section.

    Hey Dale, it was perfectly fine when someone just mentioned the weapons in passing but now it seems that there is interest in an in-depth discussion about them.

    So a "The weapons of Outlander" may be of interest to some of our members.

    And we have a forum section just for those sort of discussions. How cool is that?

    Unutterably cool, actually. The OP was referencing wardrobe and language (Gaelic & Scots). Weaponry, in the period depicted, was just a subset of normal attire in the Highlands & Isles. How 'bout a whole separate subforum dedicated to the TV series and novels?

    yep, already got that. It's called "Kilts in the media".

    In fact that is where this thread is now posted.

    terry dresbach, Hi ! I love the show, I LOVE the men in kilts. The costumes for the rest of the cast is terrific.. the whole premises about time traveling etc is so cool... All what has been done for the show is great. Not sure about history behind it other then it is a story, how accurate things are or are not I would never of known.... I just like the show / plot.. I think u and anyone else including the actors are great,great talent too doing alot of work in such little time and coming out with such ART ( kilts and the other clothes ). I'm looking forward to April when it starts new episodes and looking at the kilts and hearing the Scottish accents... Thank you..... Angie

    Thumbs up A long time to wait

    April 4th seems along way away right now. However, if the quality of the series continues at the same high level I will certainly be watching.

    It feels almost like a guest appearance on the show.
    Oh good grief! A friend of mine just took that and ran with it, putting my kilt and Claire's cloak a bit closer together:
