Outlander star Colin McFarlane has traced his Scottish ancestors back to the battle of Culloden.
The star shared his family tree with fans on Twitter after his DNA was used to trace his history.
The actor starred in Seasons 4 and 5 of the show but is unlikely to appear in the next as his character is currently fleeing after murdering Forbes.
The actor tweeted : "WOW! READ ALL ABOUT IT! @Writer_DG using my DNA results @findmypast have stumbled across a fascinating story in my ancestry that may connect me by blood to the battle of Culloden!
"More to uncover before we’re certain but that would be mind blowing!! @Outlander_STARZ #Outlander."
Fans flocked to the comments to share their interest in Colin's new discovery.
One user wrote: "Holy moly! That’s amazing. So curious to learn more! One of my ancestors was there fighting on the government side."
Another commented: "Wonderful, be warned it's totally addictive. I'm descended from King Malcolm III and St Margaret of Scotland. What started as a little hobby has resulted in a family tree of over 5000 & still growing. It's totally rewarding to uncover your history."
A third said: "How amazing! Maybe it’s a sign that you were fated to play Ulysses!?!? Please keep us posted!"
Since a return to Fraser's Ridge is unlikely for Ulysess, fans of Colin will be able to see him back on screens on Dodger set to air in 2022.
