“Dedicated fan base⟳: Fans include⟳ the Heughligans and Caitriots and there are dozens of fan websites.”

“Overall, he seems to not quite grasp the power of his beefcake form⟳ as immortalised by a drama that has become⟳ a global success. No fan base⟳ in the world shouts louder for the pin-up of their choice than the Heughligans.”

“The Golden Globes have⟳ been better, nominating Tobias Menzies for supporting actor and the show⟳ [Outlander] for best drama series in Season 1, and star Caitriona Balfe for best actress in both seasons. But co-lead Sam Heughan still has not been nominated by either major awards show⟳ and the Heughligans are restless.”

“The film [The Spy Who Dumped Me] may be the next break⟳ he was waiting for. “It was exciting to give⟳ him an opportunity to explore⟳ a different tone and dynamic in his work⟳ and watch⟳ him master it like⟳ he did, and I can’t wait⟳ to see⟳ what he does next,” [Susanna] Fogel says. The Heughligans couldn’t agree⟳ more.”

“It’s not every day a gal can say⟳ she’s had a lie⟳ down in a dark room with Outlander star Sam Heughan. In the wee small hours of Saturday, much to the envy of Heughligans everywhere, I had the pleasure of exactly that – along with several hundred other lucky peeps.”

“Although their numbers may be small by Cumberbitch or Belieber standards, Heughligans are a loyal and passionate group. […] Thousands of Heughligans from around the world have⟳ helped transform⟳ his casual call⟳ to action into a global movement.”

“A trip⟳ to Cawdor Castle is the cue to reminisce on the numerous productions of Macbeth the pair have⟳ been part of, before they exit, pursued by a mother/daughter tag team of Heughligans. Culture vultures both, they are as excited to handle⟳ a Second Folio of Shakespeare’s works as they are at the sight of a historic Highland broadsword or a 17th century studded oak door, and justifiably proud of the historic sites which have⟳ benefited financially from the Outlander tourist circuit (with caveats about respecting the environment).”

“It was at this point⟳ that I realised talking with this Highland heartthrob – who has amassed squillions of ‘Heughligan’ fans since Outlander’s inaugural episode in 2014 – was one of the more surreal moments of the past twelve months. […] To put⟳ it simply, his devoted clan of ‘Heughligans’ can officially register⟳ their latest recruit. Where do I sign⟳?”
