Abstract
This thesis analyzes the role of supernatural elements and Scottish folklore in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander and explains the function they perform in the development of the story and the characters. Through its focus on Scottish folklore, a vital part of the Scottish culture, the novel provides valuable insights into the Scottish people’s customs and way of life. Furthermore, the thesis highlights supernatural elements by presenting people’s beliefs, especially in magic and magical beings. From believing in magical occurrences like time travel to magical beings like the Loch Ness monster, Scottish folklore is a great example of such mores. The novel Outlander has been selected for this research because it is rich in supernatural elements and Scottish folklore and set in eighteenth-century Scotland, a time when people still believed in supernatural occurrences and practiced their old customs.
