Sam Heughan teams up with Edinburgh theatre 'dear to his heart' for climate change action call

Sam Heughan has teamed up with an Edinburgh theatre to encourage young people to submit their writing on the climate crisis.

The Balmaclellan-born actor, 43, shared a video message to encourage fans to get involved with the Last Chance To Save The Planet event held at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh. Sam, who has played Jamie Fraser on Outlander since 2013, said that the theatre holds a special place in his heart as it's where he started his career.

Sam shared a special video message to launch the timely project, which will see 11-18-year-olds write their own “urgent words of protest”. In the clip posted on Twitter, he said: “Now the Traverse wants to hear from you. If you’re between the ages of 11 and 18 and live in Scotland, this is your chance for your voice to be heard on climate change.
