Description

Experience the Outlander saga in one unforgettable day! Explore the real-life settings from the series: the iconic Lallybroch, the majestic Castle Leoch, and many other iconic filming locations.
In the Footsteps of Jamie and Claire: The Scotland of Outlander
Dive into the heart of the Outlander phenomenon on this full-day tour from Edinburgh. Much more than just a tour of filming locations, this trip offers a true immersion in the history and rugged landscapes that inspired Diana Gabaldon’s work. From medieval fortresses to quaint villages, get ready to step through the stones of time.

Lallybroch: The home of the Frasers
Start your adventure at the place closest to fans' hearts: Broch Tuarach, better known as Lallybroch. As you discover Midhope Castle, you will immediately feel the emotion Jamie experiences in front of his family home. This is the perfect spot to capture the iconic entrance where so many memorable scenes took place.


Fort William and its dark memories
We will stop at Blackness Castle, the “fortress that never sailed.” In the series, this austere seaside building poses as Fort William, the foreboding headquarters of Black Jack Randall. The heavy atmosphere and imposing architecture evoke the most intense moments of the confrontation between Jamie and his sworn enemy.

Castle Leoch: Seat of the Clan MacKenzie
Next, head for the majestic Doune Castle, which serves as Castle Leoch in the series. Explore this 14th-century fortress where Claire was welcomed (and kept under surveillance) by Colum MacKenzie. You will instantly recognize the inner courtyard and the massive kitchens where the intrigues of the first season unfolded.
Fun fact: This castle is also famous for having been used as a filming location for Monty Python and Game of Thrones!

The village of Cranesmuir and the gardens of Edinburgh
Continue your journey to Culross, a perfectly preserved village that serves as the setting for Cranesmuir. Stroll around the Market Square where Geillis Duncan lived, and admire the palace garden where Claire gathered her medicinal herbs. The ochre-colored houses and cobbled streets will instantly transport you back to 18th-century Scotland.

A return journey through modern history
On your way back to Edinburgh, enjoy a spectacular view of the Forth Bridges, a fascinating contrast between modern engineering and the Jacobite stories of the day.
