Tourists obsessed with the hit TV show are obviously quite keen on the idea of rampaging around the Highlands in an ill-fitting kilt in the 1700s.

It might sound a bit, well, Outlandish — but business is booming for Diane, 50, and husband Andrew, 52, who run the Outlander Past Lives Experience near Culloden Battlefield in Inverness-shire. Life coach Diane even insists she used to be a Jacobite warrior like actor Sam Heughan’s character Jamie Fraser — and that she was married to Andrew when she was a Highland man and he was a woman. She explains: “I regressed myself and I was a Jacobite male in a past life. “I remember standing at Culloden House, looking up the hill to the right with a feeling of complete and utter hopelessness, seeing men lying about the trees before the battle. “A birthmark on my body is precisely where I was wounded in that battle. I’ve always been weak in that area of my body, and now I understand why. “I used to cry while walking through the battlefield and I still get emotional to this day.” And Diane, who regresses up to 50 cli- ents a month, recalls taking another woman back to the scene of the 1746 dust-up between Bonnie Prince Charlie’s Jacobite army and the Butcher of Cum- berland’s forces. She adds: “I did a regression with one lady who went straight back to the battlefield and she actually remembered dying there. “She described how she felt as the life went out of her and how she felt no pain.” Telly show Outlander — based on the books by US author Diana Gabaldon — has become a huge global smash. Filmed in Scotland, it centres on 1930s nurse Claire Randall (played by Caitri- ona Balfe), who travels back in time to the Jacobite era and falls in love with Heughan’s kilted hunk Jamie. The series has led to a tourism boost — dubbed The Outlander effect — as fans from across the world travel here to visit iconic locations used in the show. That could lead some sceptics to argue that Diane and Andrew’s past life regression is just a quirky marketing gimmick to cash in on the boom. But Andrew insists it’s not just a bit of harmless fun to amuse tourists — and that many clients find the serious busi- ness of being regressed therapeutic. He explains: “Di was doing past life experiences before we even came across Outlander.
