Months after the first half of season one aired in the US and across other nations, it will be broadcast in the UK on Amazon Prime on 26 March.
“It felt very strange for Outlander not to have a home in the UK and now that it does it’s really exciting,” said Caitriona speaking to Scotland Now before the event.
“Fans have been waiting for so long to have an adaptation in a visual form that they could watch. People have got behind it in the US and hopefully they will here too. We have such a built-in fan base because of Diana’s books and she has obviously captured the imagination of so many people since the first book came out over 20 years ago.
“There is always some apprehension because you really hope you’ve done justice to their favourite characters and the book but I feel we worked really hard on this and I feel really proud of it.”
Outlander stars glad Scots fans can now watch the show

Outlander is based on the best-selling novels of American author Diana Gabaldon and has been made by entertainment giants Sony and American cable channel Starz. Although it premiered in the US in August, a deal to allow it to be shown in the UK was only recently agreed. It will finally make its debut on Amazon’s streaming service this Thursday.
Heughan joked: “I’ve actually been making a fortune in illegal copies of the show before now!
“It feels really important and I am so pleased that the show is finally going to be aired in Scotland.
“It feels wonderful that things are going in the right direction now and it’s great that people will be able to watch the show on any device.”

The 34-year-old plays a lead role in US television series Outlander which has seen him gain cult status in America while remaining relatively unknown in his homeland.
That looks likely to change when the first eight episodes of series one, based on author Diana Gabaldon’s bestselling books, finally become available on Amazon Prime Instant Video in the UK from Thursday.
“It is kind of odd because you are very removed from it in Scotland,” he said. “[The show] has been well received but it is always odd when people recognise you in America or at airports and come up to you. It is very nice but quite strange.”
The £50 million first series, which made extensive use of Scottish locations and was first screened on the US network Starz last autumn, is due to have joint premieres in London and Glasgow this evening.
