Top 7 Murtagh Moments!
By Lesa Walton

The moment you realize Murtagh is full of love. Pure, unadulterated love.
He may be brusque. He may be brash. He may be scary, and a cold-blooded killer, but all of these things he does for, and out of a massive amount of love. Mostly, that love is towards Jamie, and it is heartbreaking at times. Like when Jamie, post-Wentworth Prison hell, is ready and willing to die at the abbey because he is so distraught over what has happened to him, Murtagh gets angry. That anger is out of frustration because he loves this kid so much, though. Jamie is as good as a son to Murtagh, and he promised Jamie’s parents he’d take care of him. So how does a grumpy old Highlander try to save his most precious kinsman? By screaming at him, of course.
The level of desperation in Murtagh’s eyes brought tears to my own. If everyone had that much love for another person, the world would be such a better place.
