Since the main man is Jamie Fraser of our Clan of the Month, the Frasers, we thought we’d do a little digging into the show to see how historically accurate it is. Was Jamie Fraser a real person? Although Jamie Fraser wasn’t a real person, he was inspired by a real person. Jamie McCrimmon (Dr Who) Is the Fraser tartan in the show accurate? Closer to the muted colours in the show are the Fraser Hunting Weathered and the Fraser Hunting Ancient tartans which feature earthy colours, evoking colours that had been battered by the wind and rain. In the second novel and second series of Outlander , we meet Jamie Fraser’s uncle, Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat. Simon Fraser was indeed a real person and it seems that the character’s violent and unpredictable personality on the show is faithful to the real-life Fraser. In the show, we see Jamie Fraser leading his men in the ill-fated Battle of Culloden. Outlander fans can find a market on the Culloden battlefield, near Inverness, dedicated to the clan members who lost their life there. In series 3 of Outlander , we see Jamie Fraser retreating to a cave after the Battle of Culloden, where he lived as a recluse, becoming known as Dun Bonnet. Although much of the stories shown in Outlander are fictionalised, there are actually a lot of details that are based in fact or are inspired by tales of the real Clan Fraser.
