Highlights

Midhope Castle - We make our first stop at Midhope Castle, aka Lallybroch - home to Jamie Fraser.
Doune Castle - We then visit Doune Castle, one of Scotland’s best preserved medieval castles and used as the setting for Castle Leoch in Outlander. You’ll have time to explore this historic stronghold.
Culross - Our journey takes us on to the Kingdom of Fife, an area of great historical importance and the ancestral home of Scottish monarchs. We make a stop at Culross, where Claire was accused of witchcraft in the village of ‘Cranesmuir’. This charming village is the most complete example of a 17th and 18th century burgh in Scotland today.
Falkland - After lunch we will continue to the village of Falkland, used for filming 1940’s Inverness. With over 28 listed buildings it gives a good representation of this period.
Blackness Castle - Our final stop is at Blackness Castle, the 15th century fortress use to represent Fort William in the show.

Amazing - From the time you arrive to check-in until drop-off its an excellent experience My guide, Tim had so much information my mind was blown, as I was travelling solo he was also very helpful with taking some pictures for me. The tour itself was amazing! So many sites and areas of interest related to Outlander but if you need to drag along a non-Outlander fan it would still be an amazing day as the sites and towns you visit are so pretty and full of history
