Scots actor Sam Heughan has opened up about his personal life in a new book
The Outlander star was inspired to write Waypoints while taking part in the West Highland Way, a 96-mile hike from Milngavie to Fort William.
He didn't get his challenge off to the best start. After just two days, he felt he'd "maybe set his goals too high" as he was carrying so much equipment. He even joked: " I started the walk with maybe a large ego, thinking i was reasonably fit and I had all the gear." He said: "The tranquil nature of this place allows me to reflect on my life. I have few memories of my dad, he left when I was 18 months old. I didn’t reconnect with him properly until I was an adult.
The pair have worked together for nearly 10 years, with John training Sam for Outlander so that he would have the "physique of a warrior".
