NZ isn't showing Outlander yet but I've read the books - up to number 6. I wish I could find a stone circle and step through into the past, though the '45 uprising was a bit violent. I don't know why the producers chose uillean pipes, tho' the sound is much more mournful (and tuneful?) than war pipes. I don't recall any of the characters playing pipes, or even travelling to Ireland, but they go to France and North America later on. I guess I'll have to wait a year or more for the series to reach NZ. Robyn
