OUTLANDER star Lauren Lyle talks about her shadowy role in the BBC thriller Vigil in an exclusive interview with The Herald Magazine tomorrow.
The Glasgow-born actor is part of a big-name ensemble cast alongside Suranne Jones, Rose Leslie and Martin Compston for the gripping six-part drama which begins on Sunday evening.
Lyle also discusses playing the titular character in upcoming ITV crime drama Karen Pirie, adapted from Val McDermid's novel, The Distant Echo, about a young Scottish detective investigating cold case murders.
The cover image for the interview was shot by Lyle's Outlander co-star Richard Rankin, who has launched a photography career alongside acting in recent years.
"He has got really good and is passionate about photography," said Lyle. "We had a big day where we ran around Scotland when I was filming Karen Pirie. On my one day off, he took loads of photos."
The actor also touches on her former days as a gymnast and how she found herself on the radar of First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
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.

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
