Behind-the-Scenes Pictures from the Set of ‘Outlander’

Outlander, your favorite sexy, time-traveling, Scottish romance, is a lot of things. It's sexy, yes. It's dramatic. Sometimes it's even kind of hilarious. Behind the scenes, though, the cast's hilarity and personal brand of quirky absurdity are turned up to 11. To prove it, here are 46 wonderfully weird photos the cast and crew have shared from behind the scenes of the hit Starz drama. 

Sam Heughan, Caitriona Balfe, Maria Doyle Kennedy, and Colin McFarlane

Full costume selfies are the best selfies.

Sophie Skelton, Caitriona Balfe, and Sam Heughan

Nothing says "historically accurate" like a smartphone and puffy coat, right?

Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan

The stars of Outlander work so hard they can't stay awake by the end of the season. Or Caitriona can't, anyway. 

Sam Heughan and Sophie Skelton

Just a little Pret on set.

Sam Heughan. In full costume. On a bike. Perfection.

Does it ruin the magic to see the camera there? Not for us, either.

Everything about this group shot is pure joy.

This mirror selfie in the makeup trailer is quintessential behind-the-scenes stuff.

A special thank you goes out to Sam Heughan for this photo of Caitriona, doing wonderful weirdo stretches in old-timey underwear.

Lauren Lyle would make an excellent 18th century influencer.

Water shoots are always sexy.

Anderson's cat picture can't beat Sam's cat selfie though.

César Domboy and Keith Fleming

Beach naps on the Outlander set. We've never been so jealous. 

Set Breakfasts 

Anita Anderson also gave the world a glimpse at the glamorous world of Outlander set breakfasts.

Sophie Skelton and Caitriona Balfe

Skelton shared this wonderful snap in honor of National Absurdity Day, which feels like a holiday invented for Outlander.

Just a casual "hanging out at the trailer in character" shot shared by César Domboy.

Sam Heughan

The best part of this in-costume rugby shoutout video is Caitriona Balfe video bombing it.

Sam Heughan and Romann Berrux

This selfie welcomed Romann to Instagram and we can't think of a better introduction to the IG world.

Caitriona Balfe and Tobias Menzies

Warning: Caitriona's goodbye tribute to her onscreen husband might make you tear up.

Lauren Lyle and César Domboy

If it weren't for the water bottle, this could pass for a still from the show.

Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan 

Caitriona and Sam, like all best friends, kill time taking random photos together, like this one of their shadows, complete with a trolly caption from Caitriona about Sam's height.

Richard Rankin

Richard Rankin is also a fan of shadow selfies on set. Must be an Outlander cast thing. 

César Domboy

And César Domboy, too. The shadow selfie is basically an Outlander rite of passage. 

Romann Berrux and Caitriona Balfe

You know, for those times when your camera needs a shower cap.

César Domboy and Romann Berrux

Two Ferguses in one photo? We're fine with that.

Caitriona Balfe

Fun fact: The Outlander cast spends their downtime on set doing things like watching sheep racing. 

Caitriona Balfe

And watching goats dance. As if you didn't already think the Outlander cast had the best jobs, right? 

Romann Berrux

Puffy coat and a camera coverup. Scotland weather is brutal.
