Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is Jamie's birthday?

Answer: May 1, 1721

 There is some dispute over this, because conflicting years are inferred in different books. I posed the question to Herself (Diana Gabaldon), and her reply was that Jamie's birth year is 1721, despite the discrepancies. Also, in book five "The Fiery Cross," Jamie celebrates his 50th birthday on May 1, 1771.
2. What name did Jamie go by when he was a printer in Edinburgh?

Answer: Alexander Malcolm

 From Book III: "Voyager". Alexander Malcolm are two of Jamie's middle names. (James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser; as if you had forgotten!)
3. What is the other name of Mrs. Abernathy of Rose Manor?

Answer: Geillis Duncan

 From Book III: "Voyager."
4. What is the title of the United Kingdom publication of "Outlander"?

Answer: Cross Stitch

 Also the working title of "Outlander", meant to be a play on idiom "stitch in time".
5. What is the name of Ellen's suitor, who gave her the pearl necklace?

Answer: MacRannoch

 From Book I: "Outlander" ("Cross Stitch").
6. Jocasta Cameron is what relation to Jamie?

Answer: Aunt

 Books I and IV: "Outlander" ("Cross Stitch") and "Drums of Autumn".
7. What scent does Jamie have a very bad allergic reaction to?

Answer: hyacinth

 From Book II: "Dragonfly in Amber". Jamie also has a very bad non-allergic reaction to the scent of lavender, thanks to Jonathan Randall.
8. What is Claire's middle name?

Answer: Elizabeth

 Book I: "Outlander" ("Cross Stitch") I'm pretty sure Claire only mentions her middle name once, when she marries Jamie. (And, of course, this information can also be found in "The Outlandish Companion" a.k.a. "Through the Stones".)
9. What does Jamie keep in his sporran that has the letters "S-A-W-N-Y" written on it?

Answer: A wooden snake

 Book I: "Outlander" ("Cross Stitch"). "Sawny" is a pet name derived from Jamie's second name, Alexander. The snake was given to him by his older brother, William.
10. Who is the father of Jenny's oldest child?

Answer: Ian Murray

 Book I: "Outlander" ("Cross Stitch"). Jamie thought Jonathan had sired his nephew, but it turned out to be Jenny's husband, Ian.
11. When Claire first went through the stones, what feast was it near?

Answer: Beltane

 Book I: "Outlander" ("Cross Stitch"). Beltane is around the beginning of May. Jamie would just have turned 23 when she "passed".
12. What kind of object does Diana Gabaldon use to write herself into the series (Book III: "Voyager")?

Answer: ship

 The ship Jamie and Claire sail on to save Young Ian is called the "Artemis". Artemis is the Greek equivalent to the Roman goddess, Diana.
13. Whom does Brianna Randall/Fraser accuse of trying to kill her mother at Cranesmuir?

Answer: Laoghaire MacKenzie

 From Book IV: "Drums of Autumn".
14. What is the name of Frank Randall's (direct descendant) ancestor that Claire meets in the 18th century?

Answer: Alexander Randall

 From Book II: "Dragonfly in Amber". Jonathan Randall is the person Frank thinks is his ancestor - Alexander Randall is Frank's genealogical ancestor.
15. What is a gaberlunzie?

Answer: Permission to beg

 From Book I: "Outlander" ("Cross Stitch") Hugh Munro has four of them.
16. By what name does Jamie most often call Claire affectionately?

Answer: Sassenach

 From all books.
17. What is the name of the dog at L'Hôpital des Anges?

Answer: Bouton

 From book II: "Dragonfly in Amber". Also known affectionately as "Monsieur le dishcloth".
18. In which language is Jamie's clan's motto?

Answer: French

 All books. The Fraser clan motto is "Je Suis Prest".
19. How old was Jonathan Wolverton Randall when he died in 1746?

Answer: 40

 From Book I: "Outlander" ("Cross Stitch"). When Claire "curses" Randall with the foreknowledge of the date of his death, she gives his birthdate of September the third, 1705. Since we know that he died in the Battle of Culloden (April 16th, 1746), it is easy to figure out that Randall died five months short of his 41st birthday.
20. Claire finds the name "Lady Tuarach" funny because it means...?

Answer: Lady North-facing

 From Book II: "Dragonfly in Amber".
