Torn between her attachment to Jamie and the thought of Frank, Claire tries to return to Craigh na Dun. To keep Claire from Randall, Dougal has her wed Jamie, which makes her a Scottish citizen.
There is suspicion that she is perhaps an English spy. When chance again brings her to his attention, Captain Randall tells Dougal to bring Claire to him for questioning. Colum sends her with his brother, Dougal, to collect rents on the way he also solicits donations for the Jacobites, overseen by Ned Gowan, a lawyer from Edinburgh who is working for the Clan. Her medical skills eventually earn their respect but the clan chieftain, Colum MacKenzie, suspects her of being an English spy. The highlanders of 1743 see Claire as a " Sassenach", or "Outlander", ignorant of Gaelic culture. The Scots do not believe her and take her to Castle Leoch, where Claire searches for a way to return to her own time. She represents herself as an English widow who is traveling to France to see her family. The men identify themselves as members of Clan MacKenzie, and Claire eventually concludes that she has traveled into the past.
As the Scots inexpertly attend their injured comrade Jamie, Claire uses her medical skill to set Jamie's dislocated shoulder. Before Captain Randall can attack her, he is knocked unconscious by a highlander who takes Claire to his clansmen. Investigating a buzzing noise near the stones, she touches one and faints upon waking, she encounters Frank's ancestor, Captain Jack Randall. Frank conducts research into his family history and Claire goes plant-gathering near standing stones on the hill of Craigh na Dun. In 1946, after working apart during the Second World War, former British Army nurse Claire Randall and her husband Frank Randall, a history professor, go on a second honeymoon to Inverness, Scotland. The first book won a Romance Writers of America's RITA Award in 1992.

Initially set around the time of the Second World War, it focuses on nurse Claire Beauchamp, who travels through time to 18th-century Scotland, where she finds adventure and romance with the dashing Jamie Fraser. Can he get it? Can he experience it? In what form can he accept it? Can his pleasure ever be associated with someone else’s pleasure? Does his pleasure always have to be associated with someone else’s torment? I think there are a lot of questions swimming around in those scenes.Outlander (published in the United Kingdom as Cross Stitch) is a historical fantasy novel by Diana Gabaldon first published in 1991. Then there’s a sadistic, a literal sadistic aspect to that, which is the subject of Jack’s pleasure. So the scene is about breaking him and getting pleasure from that act, and forcing him to admit he was broken is at the heart of everything that’s going on in that chamber. And then Jack walks away from that feeling that he never quite broke him. Then he takes him to Fort William, where Jamie endures incredible flogging not once, but twice. Jack has been with obsessed with this young man for literally years now, beginning when he first saw him at Lallybroch.
I think a lot of it has to do with power. MOORE: I think it’s about a lot of different things.
