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.
We depart from Edinburgh in the morning and head towards our first destination, Midhope Castle. Our journey will take you through the beautiful Scottish countryside.
Explore the exterior of Midhope Castle, known as Lallybroch in the series. Take photos and enjoy the scenery before we move on to our next stop.
Arrive at Doune Castle, which represents Castle Leoch in the series. Learn about its history and its role in the show as we tour the castle.
We will stop for lunch at a charming local restaurant. Enjoy some traditional Scottish cuisine before we continue our adventure.
Visit Blackness Castle, which served as Fort William. Walk around the fortress and imagine the intense scenes filmed here.
Stroll through the village of Falkland, which stands in for 1940s Inverness. See the familiar sights from the series and enjoy some free time to explore.
Our final stop is Linlithgow Palace, used as Wentworth Prison in the show. Discover its history and significance as we tour the grounds.
After a day filled with adventure and exploration, we head back to Edinburgh. Reflect on the day’s experiences as we journey back to the city along the scenic Royal Mile.
