A piper from the Clan McCrimmon, Jamie was one of the few who survived the battle of Culloden in 1745, when the English Redcoats massacred the Scottish Clans, who were united behind Bonnie Prince Charlie. The Doctor, Ben and Polly found him and whisked him away in the TARDIS. Jamie's courage and loyalty were never in doubt, but he wasn't very bright, although he simply accepted all the miracles of modern science simply because they were there.

He was saddened by Victoria's decision to stay on Earth, though his friendship with Zoe was a great consolation.

He was finally returned to his own era with his memory wiped clean, when the Doctor was put on trial by the Time Lords (The War Games).

He appeared as a phantom to confuse the second Doctor in The Five Doctors and also was with the second Doctor when he encountered the sixth Doctor and Peri in The Two Doctors
