THE two Scottish stars of Men in Kilts have revealed where they will be going for the second season of the travel show.
In an announcement video, Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish said that they will be heading to New Zealand for the next instalment.
The first season, which received rave reviews, saw them drive across Scotland in a campervan to learn about the country's history and culture.
The video sees the two actors, famous for the drama series Outlander, speaking about the new season and Heughan saying that because they had "such a fantastic time" on the first season that they are going to do it again.
Those excited for the new instalment of the show can expect to see an exploration of the Scottish immigrants that settled in New Zealand in the 1800s as well as a wider look at the culture of the country and indigenous peoples.

McTavish said that New Zealand was a place he loves dearly and explained the focus of the new season, adding: "We are going to be enjoying ourselves in the footsteps of the Scottish immigrants that went there in the early 19thy century and finding all things kiwi.
"And finding out why it is the Scotland of the southern hemisphere."
Heughan added: "Not only that, we are going to be looking at the culture of New Zealand, the food, the drink, the Maori culture, the high octane activities, the death-defying adrenaline junkie adventures we can go on. It is going to be a lot of fun."
Looking concerned about the mention of "death-defying activities", McTavish asked Heughan to repeat it, who jokingly said he didn't have to worry about it."

We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
