I only have a general knowledge (for an Englishman) of Scotland and its history, but the inaccuracies made the book unreadably painful for me.
I can accept fantasy and alternate worlds easily. But if a story claims to be our world or history, then I find it very hard to accept obvious errors.
Of course, what's obvious to one person is not to another, and if you don't notice the errors, they won't spoil the story.
Just don't rely on Outlander for anything to do with Scotland and its history.
