Jamie had a very strong connection to his Scottish homeland. When presented with the sound of bagpipes and the misty sight of Scotland on the scanner, he was lured out of the TARDIS, as this was what he wanted most. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mind Robber (TV story)|The Mind Robber]]'') Despite having viewed the English for a long time as his mortal enemy, he teamed up later in his travels with a Redcoat from the Forty-Five, who had also been displaced in time and space, in order to rebel against the [[War Lord]]s.

The Doctor and Zoe both often teased or insulted Jamie about his intelligence. Zoe expressed relief that Jamie hadn't thought of x-rays before her, which would have been "awful", ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wheel in Space (TV story)|The Wheel in Space]]'') and the Doctor even suggested that they run away because of Jamie having an idea. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Abominable Snowmen (TV story)|The Abominable Snowmen]]'') He was a little "thick", even by [[1745]] standards.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Cybermen (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Cybermen]]'') Jamie was simple and straightforward, but he was also practical and full of common sense, despite having no formal education. It was these qualities which often put him ahead of his companions. He came a long way from questioning why the Doctor hadn't bled the wounded and having never heard of "germs" before (he assumed the word came from "German"). ([[TV]]: ''[[The Highlanders (TV story)|The Highlanders]]'') When Jamie and Victoria were undercover at the [[Virtor]]-run [[New York Supplementary Education Institute]] in [[1982]], Jamie needed Victoria to fill out his sign-up forms, as he did not know how to write. Victoria made him promise to practice writing once they got back to the TARDIS. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Lost (short story)|The Lost]]'') Later, he read stiltedly on several occasions. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mind Robber (TV story)|The Mind Robber]]'', ''[[The Invasion (TV story)|The Invasion]]'') [[Rago]] assessed Jamie and discovered that his brain showed signs of recent rapid learning. It was his idea to dig through to a borehole and intercept the seed device which saved the travellers. Later, while the Doctor and Zoe were revelling in their rescue of [[Dulkis]] with only a minor volcanic eruption, it was Jamie who pointed out that they happened to be standing on the island that would erupt. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Dominators (TV story)|The Dominators]]'') While trapped without the Doctor or Zoe, Jamie had to order a complicated series of events. He was able to defeat [[Moran]] by thinking outside of the box, rather than solving the puzzle. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Jigsaw War (audio story)|The Jigsaw War]]'') | ||
Although he didn't understand [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], he was enthusiastic about it. His journey was a voyage of discovery; almost everything he experienced was new to him. The few times when Jamie showed worry or concern were when his companions were in danger — particularly Victoria. When the unconscious Doctor was threatened by an [[Ice Warrior]], Jamie attempted hand-to-hand combat with it, despite being unevenly matched and at great risk to himself, to protect him. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Seeds of Death (TV story)|The Seeds of Death]]'') Jamie saw the Doctor as a friend and mentor. He was extremely loyal to the Doctor and they were nearly inseparable. He learnt a lot through his experiences, but also believed the Doctor needed his help. When Ben and Polly left the TARDIS, Jamie reassured them that he would look after the Doctor.
