Sam Heughan praises 'wonderful' fan for generous birthday book gift donation

Outlander star Sam Heughan praised a fan for their 'wonderful' and 'generous' idea to make others happy on their birthday.

Sam, best known for playing Jamie Fraser in the historical series, was blown away by the kindness of the big hearted Twitter follower, who has offered to gift four fellow fans with a copy of one of his books.

The 41-year-old actor, from Dumfries, has written two best-sellers alongside co-star and fellow Scotsman Graham McTavish - Clanlands: Whisky, Warfare, and a Scottish Adventure Like No Other, released in 2020, and The Clanlands Almanac: Seasonal Stories from Scotland, released in 2021.

Now one of Heughan's army of Twitter followers is bidding to use her Audible credits to fund free copies as a gesture to celebrate her birthday.

Superfan Susan wrote on Twitter: "What will bring me joy on my birthday is to make others happy. On January 20th, I'm using my extra @audible_com credits to gift 4 people the Audible version of #Clanlands or #ClanlandsAlmanac by @SamHeughan & @grahammctavish.Comment below the next tweet, if interested."

Fans rushed to the comments of Susan's sweet gesture, to share their enthusiasm over her birthday wish.

One wrote: "What a sweet way to celebrate your birthday and share joy with others! I may, I would love to get the Audible of #ClanlandsAlmanac! And I’m definitely in the US, no chance of leaving any time soon!"

"and Sam RT you tooooo!!!! happy birthday Susan!!!," another wrote.

Another penned: "That is so awesome Susan, good things will come ur way. Happiest of birthdays. Keep waiting for my library to get the audiobook…..one day it will be available. I loved Clanlands must have listened 3x already."

A fourth quipped: "Happy early Birthday, Susan! What a kind and thoughtful gesture! I'd love the Clanlands Almanac audible! Sam and Graham are hilarious and their playful banter is just the best!! Whether chosen or not, I hope you have a great day celebrating!!"

Someone else replied: "I would love to have the audible for the Clanlands Almanac. I live in Missouri and I am so in love with the book. I would love to hear it. What a nice idea you have. Let's all be more kind. Good luck to who ever gets it."

"What a great gift to gift others on your special day. Love to receive the audio book as I have been waiting for San Francisco library to get copies. Happy birthday Susan," wrote another.

Both books have been met with widespread acclaim and praise from both fans and critics, so whoever gets Susan's audiobooks is lucky and in for a right treat.

Men in Kilts season 2, starring both Heughan and McTavish, will see the duo team up and tackle New Zealand in their next adventure.

Outlander season six will air March 6 on Starz.
