Outlander author Diana Gabaldon will speak this Friday at an online commemoration of the 275th anniversary of the Battle of Culloden.

Her series of books have inspired the mega-popular TV series of the same name, which is set against the backdrop of Culloden and the Jacobite uprising.

The commemoration show is to be filmed live at the Culloden Battlefield this Friday.

A group known as Inverness Outlanders has written on its Facebook page: "We are thrilled to announce that Diana Gabaldon will be taking part in our special live show from Culloden Battlefield and Visitor Centre to commemorate the 275th anniversary of the battle.

"We hope you can join us on Friday April 16 at 7pm.

"Inverness Outlanders has been given permission to broadcast live on Facebook from Culloden Battlefield on April 16, and we plan to lay a commemorative wreath at the memorial cairn at 1pm, the time the battle commenced.

"We have set up a GoFundMe page for anyone who would like to make a donation and play a virtual part in this significant anniversary year.

"We are only asking for donations to allow as many people as possible to participate.

"All monies received in excess of the cost of the wreath will be donated to Culloden Battlefield and Visitor Centre."
