GLASGOW has witnessed a turn back in time with Outlander fanatics taking over city centre streets ahead the Glasgow Film Festival preview tonight.
Glasgow Film Festival kicked off its celebrations yesterday, and big screen mania has engulfed the city.
The second night of the festival will show the first episode of 'Outlander' four days before the popular Scottish historical drama hits TV screens.
Fans of the show starring Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe were queuing for hours this morning on Sauchiehall street to secure their tickets for the premier.

Passionate fans were dressed to impress in their kilts this morning as they stood in line for six hours, with tickets going on sale for free at 10am today that could only be secured in person.
Celebrations for the programme continued throughout the day with the series network StarzplayUK setting up a hub on Buchanan street to promote the event.
Pictures and videos posted by the streaming company showed choirs, drummers and pipers outside Buchanan Galleries giving performances on the steps to show their love for Outlander.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
