More from Rumors

Outlander season 4 is currently in production with a large amount of filing undergoing in Scotland just now. Filming had recently taken place in the town of Falkland, where Roger (played by Richard Rankin) had been spotted.

Now the cast and crew are back over at Cumbernauld Glen filming several Season 4, which was previously used for the Battle of Culloden in the Season 3 premiere. It is there that a possible sighting of the much-loved, and very absent character, Murtagh may have been spotted.

We haven’t seen him since he was shipped off to the colonies following his arrest for being part of the Jacobite uprisizing. Many of you have been wondering when he would return and how. Even book readers have no idea how Murtagh’s storyline could go, as the character isn’t part of the books after the first part of “Voyager,” when he dies at Culloden. It’s one of the most appreciated changes from the books by many fans.

So if this is Murtagh then that is some good news as we will be getting the answers to all those questions soon and something to really look forward to in Outlander Season 4.

Is this Murtagh?

From the images that a fan has taken during the filming, we can see that it is a very good chance that it is. Obviously, it may not be but the resemblance is pretty close. Murtagh would have aged significantly since the last time we saw him as well, so the grey hair and bread would make sense as well. Remember Murtagh was last seen at the closing of Ardsmuir Prison in 1756, but the show is now set around 1767.
