Scottish history inspiring other works of SFF was mentioned. Obviously Game of Thrones - not just the Wall, but also the 1440 "Black Dinner" which inspired Martin's "Red Wedding".
Ooh, I remember the Black Dinner coming up in Rona Munro's James plays. Hadn't realised that GRRM had consciously drawn on that for the Red Wedding.
I've never seen Outlander -- mentally filed it away in the Braveheart drawer, though I'm not sure how fair that is.
It sounds like a fabulous talk. Thanks again for sharing some of it.
