The Journey

1

Midhope Castle (Lallybroch)

Step into the world of Outlander at Midhope Castle, better known as Lallybroch, the beloved ancestral home of Jamie Fraser. Though the interior is largely derelict, the exterior facade stands as a potent symbol of Scottish heritage and romance. Wander the grounds and imagine life in 18th-century Scotland, feeling the echoes of Jamie's unwavering loyalty and Claire's adventurous spirit. Capture the iconic image of this timeless gem, a must-see for any Outlander fan and history enthusiast alike.

2

Blackness Castle

Dominating the shores of the Firth of Forth, Blackness Castle, often called 'the ship that never sailed' due to its unique boat-like shape, served as Fort William in Outlander. Explore its imposing ramparts and imagine the darker moments of the story, as this formidable stronghold once housed the brutal Captain Jack Randall. Beyond its Outlander fame, Blackness Castle boasts a rich history as a royal castle, prison, and armaments depot, offering a captivating glimpse into Scotland's turbulent past and strategic defenses.

3

Linlithgow Palace

Once a magnificent royal residence and the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, Linlithgow Palace stands in evocative ruin beside a tranquil loch. Though depicted as Wentworth Prison in Outlander, its real history is far grander, having been a favorite retreat for Scottish monarchs. Wander through the roofless halls, imagine the palace in its heyday, and take in the breathtaking views. This site is a powerful reminder of Scotland's royal heritage and the dramatic events that shaped its history.

4

Doune Castle (Castle Leoch)

Known to Outlander fans as Castle Leoch, home to the MacKenzie clan, Doune Castle is a formidable medieval fortress that offers a journey back in time. Explore its imposing great hall, climb its battlements for panoramic views, and imagine life within its ancient walls. Beyond Outlander, Doune Castle has starred in Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Game of Thrones, adding to its cinematic allure. Discover its rich history and strategic importance, experiencing the legacy of Scottish clans and medieval power.

5

Culross

Step back in time in Culross, a charming village that transports you to 16th-century Scotland. With its cobbled streets, historic buildings, and picturesque palace gardens, Culross served as the backdrop for Cranesmuir in Outlander. Wander through the village and imagine Claire's herb garden, the bustling marketplace, and the day-to-day life of a bygone era. The ochre-painted Culross Palace and the quaint Mercat Cross are just a few of the highlights in this remarkably preserved historic gem, offering an immersive glimpse into Scotland's past.
