From the TARDIS Index File, the free Doctor Who reference.

James Robert McCrimmon, son of Donald, piper like his father and his father's father, was one of the longest serving companions to travel with the Doctor. When he first met the Second Doctor, he was fighting the British in the Jacobite Rebellion, at the Battle of Culloden in 1746. He was only forced to return to his own people when the Time Lords exiled the Doctor to Earth.

Perhaps typical of his era, Jamie was simple and straightforward. He was also intelligent, and full of common sense. Although he didn't understand the TARDIS, he was enthusiastic about it. His journey was a voyage of discovery, and almost everything he experienced was new to him. He struggled to understand many things, yet he battled against this, and thoroughly enjoyed his adventures.

Where possible, Jamie tried to understand his new experiences in terms of his life in 1746. When he encountered a Cyberman, whilst on his sickbed on the Moonbase, he believed that it was his clan's legend of the Phantom Piper - and that he was dying. This natural acceptance, and attempt to rationalise things, helped Jamie to grasp the worlds he saw. Aeroplanes, which he saw at Gatwick, were 'flying beasts' to Jamie. He was fascinated by them - and the airport - and stole a ticket from Samantha Briggs so that he could take a flight, and find out more about them. Having never experienced anything like this, Jamie, quite naturally, was airsick. In a later adventure he was also space sick when travelling in a space cruiser.
