Outlander's Steven Cree proud to be from Kilmarnock despite The Scheme documentary giving it a bad name

Outlander's Steven Cree has come out in defence of his home town of Kilmarnock after it got a bad wrap in The Scheme documentary.

Steven, best known for his role as Ian Murray in the hit Starz historical drama, defended his home town and admitted he was 'proud' to come from Onthank.

The Scheme was a BBC television documentary aired in 2010 which followed the lives of six families in Onthank and Knockinlaw housing schemes in Kilmarnock and many, including Steven, labelled it "poverty porn".
