A Scottish TV star has been announced as a new ambassador for the Scottish SPCA.
Jamie Roy, known for his role as Brian Fraser in Outlander: Blood of my Blood, the spinoff to the hit television series Outlander, was recently named an ambassador for the Scottish animal welfare charity.
The actor, who was born in Greenock and raised in Glasgow, visited the Scottish SPCA’s Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre in Glasgow last month to show his support for the charity.
During the visit, Jamie was given a tour of the facilities, met its furry residents and learned about the charity’s work.
He said: “I’ve always loved animals, and I am extremely passionate about the way they are treated.
“I love the work that the Scottish SPCA does and couldn’t be prouder to be an ambassador for them.”

Samantha Reilly, head of development at the Scottish SPCA, said: “We are excited to welcome Jamie on board as an ambassador.
“We are in the process of reviewing our ambassadors programme and were looking to build new relationships when Jamie reached out.
“His recent visit to one of our rescue and rehoming centres was a great way to get to know him better and let him see first-hand the unique work we do.
“Jamie’s passion for animal welfare and his platform will help us raise awareness about the importance of protecting Scotland’s animals.
“We are really looking forward to working with him.”
