UPDATED MAR 15, 2019

Ever since the premiere of Starz's 'Outlander' in 2014, based on Diana Gabaldon's 1991 book series of the same name, Scotland has seen a sharp rise in tourism to the country all thanks to the show. 

Scotland's tourism authorities reported that attractions that feature in the 'Outlander' TV series have seen visitor numbers soar by 67 percent since 2013, from 887,000 to 1.5million. On March 14, author Diana Gabaldon received an International Contribution to Scottish Tourism award at the Scottish Thistle for boosting Scottish tourism through her fantasy saga.

After receiving the award, Gabaldon told the BBC: "It's fabulous. I hear a great deal from fans of mine who have read the books and seen the TV show, who come to Scotland because they all write to tell me how wonderful it was and they send me souvenirs of their trips. I have a stack of postcards as well as a small number of Loch Ness monsters scattered around the house."
