Full Tour Itinerary
Begin your adventure at Edinburgh’s historic Royal Mile, boarding a comfortable mini-coach to explore Scotland’s sweeping countryside. Prepare for a day of captivating history, gorgeous scenery, and the iconic filming sites that brought Outlander to life.
First, discover the picturesque village of Falkland, famously known as 1940s Inverness in Outlander. Admire its quaint cobbled lanes, 17th-century architecture, and the Bruce Fountain, where Frank first spotted Jamie’s ghost.
We then visit Doune Castle, or Castle Leoch to Outlander fans, a striking 14th-century fortress with ties to other productions like Game of Thrones and Monty Python. Next, delve into the grand French-style Callendar House in Falkirk, featured in Outlanderas the Duke of Sandringham’s kitchen.
Our journey continues to Midhope Castle -Jamie Fraser’s beloved Lallybroch—where you can walk the grounds and capture memorable photos. If filming prevents visiting Midhope, we’ll provide an equally exciting option.
Finally, we reach Hopetoun House, a masterpiece of Scottish baroque architecture serving as the Duke of Sandringham’s lavish home. Its expansive estate and ornate interiors immerse you in Outlander’s 18th-century atmosphere.
