Overview

*Entrance to Doune and Blackness Castles included in tour price.

Visit three castles and a well-preserved village on this adventure through the sights and stories of Outlander.
There are moments that make your heart pound, scenes that leave you on the edge of your seat, and kisses that cause you to blush.

This is because visiting the locations lets you step back in time and wander through unchanged, ancient villages. It gives you the chance to gaze up in awe at the mighty walls of a 600-year-old castle. And it allows you to venture through the real battlefields of the Jacobite uprising.

On this tour, your guide takes you through a fantastic array of Outlander sights while telling you all about the history that inspired the famous show. So, take this time-travelling adventure and discover that the real locations and history are as exciting as the show itself.

What to expect

  1. Doune Castle
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Doune Castle entrance included in tour price.

    In Outlander, it’s the fictional Castle Leoch. And in reality, it’s a stunning castle with a tall gatehouse, an impressive great hall, and lovely views of the River Teith.
  2. Falkland
    1h
    You stop at the small town of Falkland to relive the first scenes of the show, where Falkland represents 1940’s Inverness. See if you can recognise the familiar sights such as Mrs Baird’s Guesthouses and the Bruce Fountain.
  3. Midhope Castle
    20m · Admission ticket not included
    Jamie’s family home, Lallybroch, is as lovely as it looks in the show.
  4. Blackness Castle
    30m · Admission ticket included
    Blackness Castle included in tour price

    The tough-looking castle looks like it could fend off an entire empire. And in Outlander, it impersonates Fort William.
  5. Culross Palace
    30m · Admission ticket not included
    This 16th-century village poses as Cranesmuir in Outlander. It also starred in the movies: Captain America: First Avenger and The 39 Steps.
