Tour Description

Step into the world of Outlander and other famous films as you embark on an unforgettable day tour through Scotland’s most iconic and scenic locations. Our Outlander Day Tour takes you deep into the heart of Scotland’s storied history and breathtaking landscapes. Perfect for history enthusiasts and fans of the show alike, this tour blends fact with fiction, bringing beloved scenes and historical events to life before your eyes.

Your adventure begins at Lallybroch, also known as Midhope Castle, the fictional home of Jamie Fraser. While you can only admire the exterior due to the building’s condition, the surrounding woods offer a scenic walk that leads to the infamous hiding spot of ‘Red Jamie’. From there, the tour moves to Blackness Castle, doubling as Fort William in Outlander, where Jamie’s encounter with Captain Black Jack Randall took place. The castle’s dramatic location and historical significance create an atmosphere that echoes with the past.

Next, visit the striking Linlithgow Palace, the birthplace of Mary, Queen of Scots, and the haunting site of Wentworth Prison in Outlander. After exploring this remarkable palace, you can enjoy a delicious lunch at The Four Marys pub, steeped in its own rich history. The day continues with a stop at the versatile Doune Castle, known to Outlander fans as Castle Leoch, but also featured in Game of Thrones and Monty Python and the Holy Grail, showcasing the castle’s wide cinematic appeal.

Finally, immerse yourself in the medieval charm of Culross Village, where the streets themselves are a portal to the past. The village, depicted as Crainsmuir in Outlander, allows you to wander through cobbled lanes that have remained unchanged for centuries. With flexible tour options and expert guides, this experience is designed to adapt to your interests, ensuring a personalized and memorable journey through Scotland’s cinematic and historical wonders.
