Really enjoying the #PGconference on the topic of re-reading @UofGSMLC. It was a pleasure to present my paper on the foreshadowing strategies in @Writer_DG's Outlander novels yesterday. Continuing today with more interesting papers and meeting inspiring researchers.

Been waiting for an important call which in the end didn't get through due to network issues. @O2 stop telling me my connection is fine if it clearly isn't. Also, please offer an option to chat with a member of staff rather than calling which I obviously can't!!

@SallyTuckett Thanks! Durie was a good start already, will look into Clyde and the exhibition catalogue. I just found an article by Katja Jylkka on the Loch ness monster narrative which is very helpful, too

@AlexDold You’ve probably seen it but Alastair Durie’s book Scotland for the Holidays is a great start. Also Robert Clyde’s From Rebel to Hero has a chap on travelling. More recently an exhibition catalogue Old Ways New Roads from Hunterian. Not sure if Loch Ness is mentioned specifically

Does anybody know any academic sources about tourism to Loch Ness? Preferably something that explores when it started and how it got more and more popular to visit #outlanderscholar #history #tourism

I have been trying for months to get (affordable) tickets to see @taylorswift13 in Edinburgh this weekend but it might be time to admit that it won't happen and go back to #phdlife instead of listening to all her albums.

World Outlander Day falls on June 1 each year with fans the world over paying tribute to the epic love story between Jamie (played by Sam Heughan ) & Claire Fraser (Caitriona Balfe ). This was the date Diana Gabaldon published her first novel way back in 1991 #WorldOutlanderDay

#HistFicMay Day 24 What is your next historical fiction book on your TBR pile? I have to finish reading Les Miserables as I stopped halfway through as lockdown began to ease and I needed to finish a major academic project. I hope to get back to enjoying it again very soon.
