Award-winning Scots actor Sam Heughan – best-known for playing the lead role in hit television show Outlander – has spoken of his delight after receiving an honorary degree from the University of Stirling.
The 39-year-old star – recognised for his outstanding contribution to acting and charitable endeavours – said he was “thrilled” by the accolade, as he celebrated alongside hundreds of graduating students in Stirling today (June 27).
Mr Heughan plays Jamie Fraser in Outlander – part of which was filmed on the Stirling campus, with locations including the Pathfoot Building, the link bridge and Hermitage Woods. He has won a number of best actor awards for his performances in the series, and received nominations for both a BAFTA and a Critic’s Choice Television Award.
Mr Heughan is an ardent supporter of the blood cancer charity, Bloodwise, and has established his own charitable foundation, My Peak Challenge.

Our stunning campus, with its castle, loch and golf course, enjoys views of the foothills of the Scottish Highlands, and is often cited as among the most beautiful in Europe.
