McTavish was a prominent Outlander character in Seasons 1 and 2 of the Starz drama as Dougal MacKenzie, Jamie’s (Heughan) bloodthirsty uncle. Dougal met his untimely end in the Season 2 finale last July after he caught Jamie and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) plotting to kill Prince Charles (Andrew Gower), resulting in a blade to the chest. Obviously, he did not have #Slainte, as McTavish writes above, which is a Gaelic expression meaning “good health.”
We aren’t holding our breath on any Dougal ghosts or flashbacks in Season 3—especially since the two met up in LA, not in Ediburgh or South Africa, where the show is currently shooting—but it is still nice to see the Scottish clansmen together again. However, if you’re missing McTavish on your screen, you can catch him in AMC’s comic book adaptation Preacher.
