Outlander

.page-id-3248

Overview

The "Outlander" tour is designed for the followers of  the hit TV series based on Diana Gabaldon's novel. The tour traces parts of Claire's travels through the 18th century Scottish clan lifestyle, with notable filming locations that feature her and Jamie Fraser in the  show. 

Falkland (Inverness) is the closest filming location to St Andrews, but be aware that the Palace itself at Falkland does not open until 11am, Culross (Cranesmuir) is a very popular as it was used in series 1,2,4 & 7. Doune Castle (Castle Leoch) is another popular stop and very nearby is the  Deanston Distillery, that was used as the wine cellar in Le Havre scenes, and allows you a chance  to enjoy a dram, with a whisky tasting experience (needs booking).

Hopetoun House operates an Outlander guide tour on certain days, check their website, and you can combine a ticket with Midhope Castle, if you were early starters we could do Midhope Castle first followed by a coffee break besides the Forth Rail Bridge and then head back to Hopetoun House for when it opens at 11am. 

The Falkirk area and the West Lothian’s have an abundance of choices, favourite locations, as previously mentioned Lallybroch (Midhope Castle) & Hopetoun House, they are accompanied by Callendar House, Linlithgow Palace & Blackness Castle, however let’s not forget we are driving past the kelpies, nothing to do with Outlander but one of Scotlands most popular modern art structures and an absolute favourite for visitors

You have the flexibility to design your own tour, visiting the filming locations of your choice. Just select and deselect stops on the booking page that resonates with you.

" beyond st andrews, tip" always be mindful that each stop increases the overall time, it quickly adds up, and can make for a very long tour, unfortunately there’s just not enough hours in a day to visit them all.
