So, I know you've all been waiting for the source info I received about WHO Sam was with when he was dining at IASG Restaurant, Blythwood Hotel, Glasgow two weeks ago...and most of you, waiting not so patiently, if I’m going by the amount of Anon Asks and DMs I’ve received :-), so here’s what I’m finally able to post...

Click on Keep Reading for the rest of the post.

Refresher: On November 26, 2022, someone posted this pic on Instagram at IASG Restaurant in Glasgow and Sam was in the background of the pic 👇

We all wondered if Sam was on a date, if he was with a female friend or business acquaintance, or if he was with a group of people.

Well, shortly after that pic was posted, I received an Anon Ask letting me know that the Anon knew someone who had been at the same restaurant at the same time Sam had been there. If you remember from a previous post, I asked the Anon to come off Anon and DM me here or on my Twitter account so we could chat more. The Anon identified herself and DMed me on here. She lives in Scotland. She knew that one of her coworkers had been at IASG restaurant at the same time Sam was there. 

Like MUCH of my source info, a lot of it is by sheer coincidence or being at the right place, right time, or knowing certain people. This is one of those times. The source gave me the full name, occupation, and other details of all parties involved--I was able to cross reference everything, so I know this is a verified source, and what she’s telling me is true.

To avoid confusion, I’m going to call the Anon Ask source, Scottish Source and her coworker at the restaurant, Restaurant Source

The REASON I couldn’t post the info sooner is because Scottish Source had not received it herself because Restaurant Source had left “on holiday” aka vacation. Scottish Source isn’t close enough to Restaurant Source to message her randomly on vacation, so she had to wait until Restaurant Source came back from vacation and returned to work. 

👇

As an aside, Scottish Source is verra vise and pointed out for the naysayers that if I was fabricating info, as I am forever falsely accused of doing, I would not have waited to post it. I would have made up something and posted it immediately. But I waited because I had to, because the info is REAL. 👇

Sooooo, after waiting and waiting, Scottish Source was able to finally communicate with Restaurant Source. She couldn’t be too obvious with her questions. But she was able to find out that Sam was NOT on a date, and NOT with one person, but in fact had dinner “WITH A GROUP OF PEOPLE.” 👇

And Scottish Source followed it up with this. 👇

And 👇

So, I know that’s a bit anticlimactic, but hey, again, that’s what happens when info is REAL. In short, on November 26, Sam had dinner at IASG Restaurant, Blythwood Hotel, Glasgow with a group of people. And thanks to ME and my source info, now we know for sure. 

BTW, I got a couple of DMs letting me know that there was chatter earlier today that the woman Sam was having dinner with that night must have been this 👇 woman because she posted on November 25 that she got good news. And that news turned out to be that she’s working at Waterstones Bookstore for Sam’s book signing event on December 18. NOPE, negatory. On November 25, she posted about news she got “yesterday,” meaning November 24. Sam was seen at dinner on November 26.

As you can see, Sam was at dinner on November 26 👇

In addition, the Glasgow bookstore woman clarified that she’s going to be Sam’s “right hand man,” aka his “handler,” aka an employee. 👇 Sam would not have then taken a “handler” out for a celebratory dinner. So, that debunks that rumor. 

I also got a Anon saying they’d heard a rumor that Sam was at dinner with Cait, Maril, and Matt to “celebrate the green light being given for the next season of Outlander.” Highly doubtful given that this 👇 Outlander fan was also at IASG restaurant the same night and got a pic with Sam. If Cait had been there, she would also gotten a pic with her. Oh wait, let me guess, Cait was wearing that infamous invisibility cloak she tends to wear when she’s out with Sam and no one ever sees her out with him. Anyhoo, the above scenario is obvious shipper wishful thinking and not based in reality. What else is new?  🙄

Sooooo, in summary, Sam was not out to dinner with Karina Elle (and nope, I don’t care, I simply post info and I’m happy when Sam’s happy, simple as that). Sam was not out with any other woman on a date. Sam was out to dinner with a group of people. And nope, not Cait, Maril, Matt. That’s all folks. 

But stay tuned, there’s still a chance Scottish Source subtly asks Restaurant Source for more details and maybe, just maybe we’ll find out exactly who Sam’s dinner companions were that night.
