    Join the ultimate Outlander tour from Edinburgh and explore the real-life locations used to bring the world of Outlander to life. This full-day Outlander tour in Scotland takes you beyond the capital to discover castles, historic villages and grand estates featured across multiple seasons of the hit TV series.

Travelling in comfort with your own driver-guide, you’ll visit some of the most iconic Outlander locations near Edinburgh in a single day, without long or unnecessary travel times.

Your expert guide brings each location to life with behind-the-scenes insights, detailed knowledge of the series, and the real history of 18th-century Scotland and the Jacobite era. You’ll hear how scenes were filmed, what was changed for television, and how the fictional story connects to real events.

    Throughout the day, you’ll explore a carefully selected route that maximises your time at each stop, giving you the chance to walk through key filming locations, take photos at instantly recognisable settings, and fully immerse yourself in the world of Outlander. With a private or small group setup, the experience feels personal, flexible and far more engaging than larger coach tours.

Not Even Stars Enough Simple not stars enough. The 1 day Outlander tour with Highland experience was just phenomenal. Not only i was lucky we were just 4 attendees on the tour and we saw many Outlander places we simply had the best guide ROSE who really "walked the extra mile " for us and actually showed us more than what we've paid for. She was good in telling and really entertaining. Thank you for a Top Class Tour.

Dream come true Absolutely loved the experience! As an Outlander fan myself, it was amazing to see the filming location and learn about the shooting, but also the history behind those places. Our guide, Rose, was fantastic and kept us entertained with stories, history and Outlander references. I would’ve liked to have more time for lunch, as we also wanted to visit the castle and didn’t have enough time to do both. We were able to grab a sandwich, but it’d been better if we had more time. Rose is such an amazing person, has a lot to say and teach. It was great!

Amazing trip! Ms Rose was an amazing guide and story teller. She was very knowledgeable and made the trip very easy. My kids did not feel overwhelmed and we had plenty of stops and have us great pointers on where to eat and where to go. Overall, a great trip with an amazing guide whom I’d recommend.

Great tour guide and Outlander locations. Wendi is very, very good. She is very knowledgeable. I especially appreciate that she speaks so clearly and is easy to understand. The castles were great and her outlander knowledge is great.
