'As the title suggests, Waypoints is a rewarding mix of markers, both personal as he reflects on his life and geographical as he leads the reader along the West Highland Way' - The Scotsman

'A deeply personal and warmly entertaining memoir that fans of Sam - and Scotland - will have a joyful time devouring' - Heat

'From both his walk and his career, the common lesson is the power of persistence.' - The Times

'A pleasure for fans of the author, whisky, and Scotland.' - Kirkus

'Waypoints is a memoir with a difference! I wanted to tell the stories and share the experiences that have shaped me, but to do that I needed to challenge myself and spend some time in my own company, away from the distractions of everyday life. And for me there's no better place to reflect than in the wild Scottish Highlands.'

In this journey of self-discovery, Sam Heughan sets out along the West Highland Way to explore his heritage and reflect on the personal waypoints that define him. The result is a love letter to the wild Scottish landscape that means so much to Sam, and a charming, funny, wise and searching insight to the world through his eyes.

The walk itself is the backdrop for this narrative, which tells the story of Sam's life while exploring his outlook, values and interests. Sam is a figure of fascinating contrasts, a Hollywood star with deep roots in rural Scotland, he's both outgoing and content in his own company. He has strong connections with his fans while recognising the fragility and value of anonymity, and in My Peak Challenge he has created a network that brings people together as they chase individual goals. In his new book, while charting a path through a stunning wilderness, Sam maps out the moments that shaped his views on dreams and ambition, family, friendships, love and life.

Waypoints is a deeply personal journey that reveals as much to Sam about himself as it does to his readers.

Sunday Times in the UK and New York Times bestseller in the US in November 2022.

This tale represents a rare privilege - to be allowed into someone else's process. People are not usually so generous of spirit or courageous of soul. Delightfully told with aplomb well done Sam, Diana should be proud of you!

Cracking good tale

Sam Heughan writes (and reads) beautifully. Touching in some parts, laugh-out-loud funny in others, Sam gives us an insight into his life and character, whilst retaining his innate dignity and privacy. Loved it!

I love the unique Gen X take on this autobiography so entertaining and gives a more insightful look into the narrative of the personal story. Being narrated by the author makes it more personal and relatable.

Whimsical and reflective. A pleasure to listen along with Sam’s lilting tone. A personal tale of resilience and preserving against the odds, both physically and emotionally, with a little help from the mushroom army.

What a walk

I read it before listening but nothing beats hearing it told by the man himself!

Worth a listen!
