Embark on an immersive Outlander Tour that takes you back to 18th century Scotland, departing directly from central Edinburgh. This day tour, inspired by the popular TV series Outlander, which first aired in 2014 and is based on Diana Gabaldon’s historical novels, allows you to explore iconic sites from all seven seasons.
Although the novels set their scenes in the Scottish Highlands, many filming locations are conveniently located near Edinburgh. Thus, this day-long Outlander tour lets you experience these famous sites, including some seen on the Royal Mile, without straying far from the Scottish capital. Along the way, you’ll even have the chance to visit the legendary Loch Ness, adding another layer of adventure to your journey.
Your local guide, an enthusiastic fan of both the books and the TV series, will offer engaging commentary on the Outlander narrative. Furthermore, they will highlight how the books differ from reality while recounting fascinating tales of local legend and history, including stories about Jamie and Claire, the iconic couple from the series.
Begin your journey on Edinburgh’s historic Royal Mile, where you’ll board a comfortable mini-coach and set off into Scotland’s breathtaking countryside. Prepare for a day of rich history, stunning landscapes, and iconic Outlander filming locations.
Wander the charming village of Falkland, instantly recognizable as 1940s Inverness from Outlander. Stroll through its cobbled streets, admire the well-preserved 17th-century architecture, and visit the Bruce Fountain, where Frank first glimpses Jamie’s ghost. A perfect blend of cinematic magic and historical significance.
Step into the world of Outlander at Doune Castle, famously known as Castle Leoch, home of Clan MacKenzie. This 14th-century stronghold also appeared in Game of Thrones and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Explore its grand hall, climb the ancient towers, and enjoy sweeping views of the River Teith.
This magnificent French-style mansion in Falkirk, featured as the Duke of Sandringham’s kitchen in Outlander, offers a journey through Scotland’s social and industrial history. Wander its grand interiors, then step outside to explore beautiful grounds that include a section of the UNESCO-listed Antonine Wall.
A must-visit for Outlander fans, Midhope Castle is best known as Lallybroch, Jamie Fraser’s ancestral home. While the interior is closed, the castle’s exterior remains one of the show’s most iconic locations. Stroll its grounds, snap unforgettable photos, and immerse yourself in the magic of Outlander. Availability depends on filming schedules, with alternative stops offered if necessary.
One of Scotland’s finest baroque mansions, Hopetoun House served as the Duke of Sandringham’s lavish residence in Outlander. Its grand interiors transport you to 17th-century aristocratic life, while the estate’s cinematic grounds—including a courtyard used for pivotal scenes—add to its historical and visual splendor. With breathtaking views over the River Forth, Hopetoun House is the perfect finale to your Outlander adventure.
After a day filled with history, stunning scenery, and Outlander magic, sit back and relax as we journey back to Edinburgh, reflecting on the unforgettable experiences of the day.
