Fans of Outlander will recognize the Mercat Cross and charming streets, which served as Claire's herb garden and the village of Cranesmuir. Experience the magic of old Scotland come to life.
Doune Castle
Journey to Doune Castle, a formidable medieval stronghold steeped in history and cinematic fame. Explore the castle's great hall, where scenes from Outlander (as Castle Leoch), Game of Thrones (as Winterfell), and Monty Python and the Holy Grail were filmed. Ascend the battlements for panoramic views and immerse yourself in the echoes of countless tales woven within its ancient stone walls. As you travel, glimpse the imposing silhouette of Stirling Castle, perched dramatically atop volcanic rock, a symbol of Scotland's fierce independence.
Linlithgow Palace
Discover the grandeur of Linlithgow Palace, a stunning lochside residence that served as a royal retreat and the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots. Explore the evocative ruins, imagining the opulent life of Scottish monarchs. Outlander fans will recognize it as the chilling Wentworth Prison. Enjoy lunch in the charming Royal Burgh of Linlithgow, soaking in the town's historic atmosphere before continuing your journey.
Blackness Castle
Explore the formidable Blackness Castle, a strategic fortress jutting into the Firth of Forth, known as "the ship that never sailed" due to its unique shape. Discover its role as Fort William in Outlander and learn about its history as a prison and garrison. From its ramparts, gaze upon the iconic Forth Bridges, spanning three centuries of Scottish engineering prowess, connecting the past, present, and future.
Midhope Castle (Lallybroch)
Venture to Midhope Castle, the iconic Lallybroch, Jamie Fraser's cherished family home in Outlander (seasonal availability). Immerse yourself in the rustic charm of this 16th-century tower house, imagining life at the heart of the Fraser clan. Capture memorable photos and feel the spirit of the Scottish Highlands come alive. (Note: In winter or during filming closures, the tour will visit the majestic Forth Bridges instead.)
Forth Bridges
Marvel at the magnificent Forth Bridges, a trio of engineering masterpieces spanning three centuries of innovation (alternative destination during winter months and when Midhope Castle is closed). Witness the Victorian-era Forth Rail Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage site, alongside its modern counterparts, showcasing Scotland's enduring commitment to progress and connectivity. These iconic structures provide a vital link between Fife and the Lothians, symbolizing the country's spirit of ingenuity.
