It’s important to note that Outlander tours in Edinburgh barely scratch the surface of the show’s iconic locations. For the full picture, you need to hit the road — and that’s exactly what we do.
We collect you from your Edinburgh hotel in one of our luxury private vehicles before heading out to various locations used for filming the hit series Outlander. Based on the best-selling novels by Diana Gabaldon, Outlander is filmed in real Castles and towns throughout Scotland.
Our first location on this Scotland Outlander tour is the historic town of Falkland. The town is the setting for episode one, where Frank and Claire Randall come for their second honeymoon. This is a real town, not a movie set, and all the shops and recognisable features are there, including the town square fountain where Frank encounters Jamie’s ghost watching Claire through the window.
Our next location is Doune Castle which was completed in 1400 for the 1st Duke of Albany and provides the setting for Castle Leoch in the series. It was also the set for Winterfell in Game of Thrones and featured in Monty Python and The Holy Grail. The imposing structure has remained unchanged since first built and is regarded as one of the best-preserved medieval castles in Scotland.
Our final location on this tour of Outlander sites in Scotland is Blackness Castle. Dating from 1440, the castle provides the setting for Fort William, as the original fort no longer exists.
