Five of our favourite Jamie and Claire scenes for World Outlander Day

It's World Outlander Day meaning fans of the series are getting together celebrate the date the first of the books was published and of course, the hit Starz Show.

The time-travelling love story features two exciting leads in Jacobite Jamie MacKenzie Fraser (Sam Heughan) and WWII nurse Claire Beauchamp (Caitriona Balfe).

The pair share their story through two centuries of time and fans have grown to love watching them overcome everything from psychopathic redcoats and witch trials to emigration and separation through time.

Here are some of the best Jamie and Claire moments from the show.

The first meeting

Jamie saves Claire from Black Jack. (Starz)

What a way to start the show, a disorientated Claire meets the evil forebear of her husband Frank and refuses to back down even with his blade to her throat.

When Jamie arrives and saves her, she refuses to back down, showing the spirit he comes to love.

The scene then sees Jamie utter the now famous "you're coming with me" line.

Claire reveals the truth

An emotional Claire reveals the truth. (Starz)

"I'm from the future."

The moment when Jamie finally learns the truth, really shows the raw emotion building between the pair.

Returning to the future

Jamie and Claire at the stones. (Starz)

When Claire decides she must leaves Jamie to return to 1948, the pair are clearly devastated.

Claire screams in anguish when she realises Jamie is gone and the world she had left behind is now no longer.

The anguish is compounded when she learns that the Jacobites lost at Culloden.

This is the first real scene where we see the pain that the rift between their timelines will cause them.

Reunited

Jamie's hilarious reaction to Claire's return. (Starz)

This scene has everything, Claire hearing Jamie's voice for the first time, her eye's welling up as she sees him and Jamie's hilarious over the top reaction to seeing her again.

The joke about the pot spill and Jamie having to remove his trousers when he wakes is almost comically light for such a deep moment.

Jamie's reaction to that red dress

Jamie reacts to Claire's fashion choice. (Starz)

Claire gets dressed up properly for the first time, much to Jamie's irritation.

Visibly shocked the comedy of his reaction, which Claire is not expecting, brilliantly shows the difference in their respective viewpoints.

Instead of a compliment, Jamie asks her if she's mad, stating that he can "see every inch of her, right down to her third rib".

Not to be put off, Claire brushes off his protests in her typical manner.

The underrated exchange perfectly encapsulates their relationship.
