“Home is where the heart is. It’s also the place where it can be broken.” So said Claire Fraser (Caitríona Balfe) in Outlander Season 7, when Fraser’s Ridge, the North Carolina settlement she and dutiful husband Jamie (Sam Heughan) share, burned to the ground.
When the Frasers finally return to the spot in Outlander Season 8, things will look a bit different, and they will find themselves in a place that production designer Mike Gunn calls “Christieville.”
