Itinerary

Midhope Castle Stop 1
We make our first stop at Midhope Castle, aka Lallybroch - home to Jamie Fraser.
30 min
Doune Castle Stop 2
We then visit Doune Castle, one of Scotland’s best preserved medieval castles and used as the setting for Castle Leoch in Outlander. You’ll have time to explore this historic stronghold.
1h
Culross Stop 3
Our journey takes us on to the Kingdom of Fife, an area of great historical importance and the ancestral home of Scottish monarchs. We make a stop at Culross, where Claire was accused of witchcraft in the village of ‘Cranesmuir’. This charming village is the most complete example of a 17th and 18th century burgh in Scotland today.
1h
Falkland Stop 4
After lunch we will continue to the village of Falkland, used for filming 1940’s Inverness. With over 28 listed buildings it gives a good representation of this period.
45 min
Blackness Castle Stop 5
Our final stop is at Blackness Castle, the 15th century fortress use to represent Fort William in the show.
