Graham McTavish: Scottish actor on the new season of 'Men in Kilts' and 'Clanlands in New Zealand' - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Scottish actor Graham McTavish has been calling New Zealand home for over a decade now, moving over back in 2011. 

He’s well known for his roles in Outlander, the Witcher, House of the Dragon, and of course, playing Dwalin in the Hobbit series. 

However, McTavish doesn’t limit himself to fiction as he and Sam Heughan return for a second season of Men in Kilts. 

This time instead of their native Scotland, they’re taking a trip across New Zealand.  

McTavish told Mike Hosking that he’d love to do another season, joking with the Newstalk ZB host that considering the last one, the show is probably what he’ll die doing.  

After each season the pair write a book about their adventure, complete with pictures.  

This season’s ‘Clanlands in New Zealand: Kiwis, Kilts, and an Adventure Down Under’ was released in November. 

“I’ve learned so much in, you know, the travelling that we did, my own research for the book,” he told Hosking. 

“That’s the real delight for me.”
