The company also released an unedited transcript of the clip.<\/p>\n
Balfe said: “It’s a particular place in Shotts. I just want to be specific. It’s not the town – the little village.<\/p>\n
“They found an old dump that was also kind of a swamp, and we were there for over a week, and our sets kept getting attacked, and it was not my favourite place.”<\/p>\n
The Daily Record, external<\/a> reported that Dublin-born Balfe and the Outlander crew filmed near Hartwood Hill, near the site of an abandoned hospital in 2024.<\/p>\n However a source claimed the shoot was disrupted by gangs of youths, who stole a quad bike and set it on fire.<\/p>\n The production also had problems with the ground being impenetrable.<\/p>\n The Spotlight Shotts community group previously told BBC Scotland News the flippant comment was hurtful to people in the town<\/a>.<\/p>\n Outlander, which concluded earlier this year, focused on the relationship between Balfe’s character – a nurse in the modern day – and Heughan, who played Jacobite Jamie Fraser.<\/p>\n
