Outlander Meets Mackenzie: Learn more about the Scottish rebels of the past
Outlander is full of Scottish rebels. Now it’s time to learn more about the Scottish rebels of the past at Outlander Meets Mackenzie.
There have been many Scottish rebels over the years. One of those would become Toronto’s first mayor, William Lyon Mackenzie. Now you can learn more about him and the lives of the people in the 19th century through Outlander Meets Mackenzie.
Okay, so the events take place 100 years after the time of Claire and Jamie Fraser. However, considering it wasn’t until the late-1800s that the world really advanced, there are going to be a lot of similarities in the dress, the printing press, hygiene, herbalism, and much more.
