From Edinburgh: 1-Day Outlander Experience with Attractions

Immerse yourself in Outlander’s history and filming locations. With visits to 2 castles, a charmingly preserved village and 2 aristocratic estates, experience the enchantment of Outlander's story.
Departing from the heart of Edinburgh's Royal Mile, we welcome you aboard a comfortable mini-bus and journey into the rolling Scottish countryside. Your expert guide will prepare you for a day full of enchanting history, spectacular landscapes, and Outlander’s rich history and filming locations.

We arrive at perfectly preserved Falkland village, famously known as 1940s Inverness in Outlander. Stroll along its cobbled streets, admire the well-preserved 17th-century buildings, and visit the Bruce Fountain, where Frank first saw the ghost of Jamie. Falkland beautifully combines cinematic allure with rich historical roots.

Doune Castle, recognized by Outlander fans as the home of Clan MacKenzie, Castle Leoch, is an impressive example of 14th-century Scottish architecture, providing a look back to Scotland’s past. This historic site is also famous for appearances in Game of Thrones, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Explore the castle’s great hall, climb its towers, and enjoy sweeping views of the River Teith from the ramparts.

Situated in Falkirk, Callendar House is a magnificent French-style mansion featured in Outlander as the Duke of Sandringham’s kitchen. Explore its fascinating exhibits on Scotland’s social and industrial history or wander its beautifully landscaped grounds, which include a section of the Antonine Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Callendar House is a must-see due to its perfect blend of elegance and historical intrigue.

For Outlander fans, Midhope Castle is an essential stop. Known in Outlander as Lallybroch, Jamie Fraser’s cherished family home, it remains an iconic symbol of the show. While the interior is closed to visitors, the exterior still evokes the deep emotional ties of the series. Walk around the castle grounds, snap some memorable photos, and immerse yourself in the spirit of one of the show’s most beloved spots. If filming schedules affect Midhope’s opening, rest assured an equally remarkable experience will be provided.

Hopetoun House, a prominent example of Scottish baroque architecture, invites you to explore Scotland’s history and its Outlander connections. Serving as the Duke of Sandringham’s opulent residence in the series, its grand interiors showcase 17th-century aristocratic life. The estate’s grounds also feature prominently in the show, including the courtyard, where pivotal scenes such as Jamie’s ambush on Sandringham were filmed. The deer park was transformed into the French countryside for the show, and the splendid staircases and red sandstone exterior added authenticity to the portrayal of 18th-century Scotland. With breathtaking views over the River Forth and meticulously manicured gardens, Hopetoun House is a memorable blend of history and cinematic magic.

After a day full of historical wonder, stunning landscapes, and Outlander enchantment, we’ll return to Edinburgh. Take a moment to reflect on your journey as you relax and get ready for your next adventure in Scotland.
