An entertainment website has apologized to the people of Shotts and Outlander actress Caitriona Balfe. The website had misquoted Balfe, attributing a comment calling the Scottish town an "armpit" to her. This error stemmed from an editing mistake.
Balfe clarified her remarks, stating they referred to a specific location within Shotts. She described a "particular place" that was an old dump and swamp, where filming for over a week was difficult. Sets were reportedly attacked, and the ground was problematic.
