‘Outlander’ Season 5: Why Fans Can’t Stop Talking About Jamie and His Kilt

The premiere of Outlander has arrived and fans can’t stop talking about it. One scene in particular involving Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) wearing a kilt is arguably the highlight of the season 5 premiere. Read on to learn what fans are saying about the iconic moment. There are spoilers ahead for Outlander.

Jamie gives a moving speech in his kilt and fans are here for it

Jamie dresses up in his kilt and it’s truly a moving sight. He steps out and shows Claire (Caitriona Balfe) his outfit before going outside to light up a cross and give a rousing speech to the people. Jamie seems even more powerful and commanding in this moment than we’ve seen him in some time. Plus, he’s wearing a kilt people.

He gathers everyone around who have come for Brianna’s (Sophie Skelton) wedding. “In the Highlands, when a chieftain sends himself to war, he’ll burn the fiery cross sending a sign through it the lands of his clan,” Jamie says. “It’s a call for his men to gather their weapons. Come prepare for battle. We are friends, neighbors, countrymen, and we’re not a clan, and I’m not your chief. But I hope that if the time comes you will all stand by my side. We can not say what might befall us, but we must not only be willing to make oaths to our wives and loved ones but to our brothers in arms and this new country. Stand by my hand.”

Jamie then accepts the oath of the people around him. He takes the time to call for both Roger (Richard Rankin) and Fergus to take the oath. The rest of the people also give their oaths as well.

Fans are understandably excited about Jamie’s moving speech, but more importantly, he’s wearing his kilt again and it means we get to see his knees. People are more than a little excited about this.
