Should prehistoric standing stones carry a health warning? Just touching one can apparently get you into all sorts of trouble.

Written by authoress Phoebe Taplin, it’s on general release from Thursday, and promises to take the dedicated Outlander fan on a journey packed with trivia facts from the series.

Falkirk’s Callendar House and Blackness Castle are among the local highlights, and we’re told the book is beautifully illustrated with photographs from the series.

One high profile advance review of the book is enthusiastic about the book, but stresses it’s aimed squarely at the fan market - mainstream readers probably won’t get some of the references.

It’s available from Amazon in paperback, priced £6.
