Actor Marshall Solution on page 2 CoverStory By George Dickie © Zap2it Viewed from outside its gates, Cumbernauld Studios in a leafy suburb of Glasgow, Scotland, appears to be an unre- markable blue corrugated steel building, the type that one would easily mistake for a warehouse. But step inside and the woodshop, seamstress rooms, produc- tion offices and film sets tell you something more is afoot here than just stor- age. It's actually the produc- tion home of the Starz time-travel/romance series "Outlander," which re- turns for its third season Sunday, Sept. 10. On this sunny mid-October day in central Scotland, a group of journalists toured the impressive sprawling facility, watched filming, interviewed cast and crew and, of course, got to check out the standing stones of Craigh na Dun, the ones that World War II nurse Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe) crossed through to the 18th century and her lover across time, Scotsman Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), to open the series. Standing in a storage area with other props, these stones are about 10 feet high, hollow and made from foam. They're light enough that a gust of wind can knock them over, as can happen in the Scottish Highlands shoot- ing location where they're deployed. One even had to be replaced after being broken in a fall. It is through these stones, as Season 3 opens, that Claire, preg- nant with Jamie's child, has crossed back to her life in 1948 and is now strug- gling with the fallout from her reappearance and its effect on her marriage to first husband Frank (Tobias Menzies). She's trying to make a go of it with this man that she does not truly love, and does her best over the course of 20 years to forget Jamie. But of course, that's easier said than done. "I think the biggest thing for me starting this sea- son," explains Balfe, seat- ed at a table near one of the sets, "was to remember that for Claire, she believes Jamie dead. So once you sort of go through the grieving process and you sort of allow yourself to put that person aside, there has to be this moment of — you know, Claire really wants this relationship to work on many levels." Catriona Balfe and Tobias Menzies star in "Outlander," which opens its third season Sunday on Starz. 'Outlander' returns for Season 3
