APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Combine the high-octane fun of the goofy car show Top Gear with Highlands terrain and you’re in for an unforgettable adventure. Outlander co-stars and real-life best friends Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish give us a blow-by-blow of their epic journey across Scotland, as they navigate the country in vehicles including a camper van, kayak, ski lift, tandem bicycle, and 1940s motorcycle—with sidecar! It’s pure candy to listen to the lads’ endless hilarious banter. But their audiobook also gives us fascinating lessons on the complex history of the Highland clans, which emerge seamlessly as the pair discuss each notable Scottish landmark along the way. The besties’ charming chemistry shines through in their narration, especially when they’re coming up with what sound like some extremely tasty cocktail recipes. Clanlands is the perfect stand-in for a getaway with a couple of your favorite mates.
