What to expect
Culross
1h
Our first stop is the picturesque village of Culross, transformed into Cranesmuir in the series. This well-preserved 17th-century Royal Burgh was once a thriving centre of trade, and its cobbled streets and white-harled buildings feel frozen in time. Visit the Mercat Cross, a key backdrop to Geillis Duncan’s most dramatic moments, or explore Culross Palace (£) for a glimpse into Scotland’s merchant past.

Doune Castle

Next, we visit Doune Castle, better known as Castle Leoch, the seat of Clan MacKenzie. Built in the 14th century for Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, this fortress played a crucial role in Scotland’s medieval power struggles. Beyond Outlander, it has appeared in Game of Thrones and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. We highly recommend the audio guide (£), featuring Sam Heughan’s narration for behind-the-scenes insights.
Entrance fee is £10GBP
Blackness Castle
1h 15m · Admission ticket not included
After a lunch break, we continue to Blackness Castle (£), known as the ‘Ship That Never Sailed’ due to its striking shape. Built in the 15th century as a noble residence for the Crichton family, it later became a key military stronghold and prison. In Outlander, it stood in for Fort William, where Jamie Fraser endured his darkest moments.
Entrance fee is £8GBP

Our final stop is Midhope Castle, better known as Lallybroch, Jamie Fraser’s cherished family home. This 16th-century tower house, part of the Hopetoun Estate, offers a timeless, atmospheric glimpse into Scotland’s clan heritage.
Entrance fee is £8GBP.
