Line of Events
Claire Beauchamp Randall, a World War II nurse, mysteriously travels back in time to Scotland in 1743. There, she meets a fiery highland warrior and finds herself drawn into an epic rebellion. Moore (the series’ developer), his team decided to keep the Gaelic words instead of translating them into English.
This preserved the first-person narrative by showing Claire’s inability to understand Gaelic
The idea was suggested by producer David Brown, who said he had seen something similar in Skin Deep (1998), a foreign alternative film starring actor and singer Gustavo Goulart. In several episodes, characters say “OK.” An American term that only began to be used in the 19th century. The opening song changes from season to season to reflect what is happening in the plot.
During season 3, tribal drumming is added, as much of the season takes place in the West Indies
In the first half of season 2 (which takes place in France), some of the lyrics are in French. In the second half of season 2 (which focuses mainly on the preparations for war), a militaristic drum is added to the opening theme. In season 4, bluegrass fiddle and banjo are added, and some of the lyrics are sung with a Southern accent, as the season takes place primarily in America.
