The Journey

1

Falkland

Step back in time in Falkland, a picturesque village frozen in the 17th century and brought to life as 1940s Inverness in 'Outlander.' Wander its charming cobbled streets, admire the historic buildings, and visit the iconic Bruce Fountain, where Frank encountered Jamie's ghost. Beyond its cinematic fame, Falkland boasts Falkland Palace, a former royal residence of the Stuart monarchs, offering a glimpse into Scotland's regal past. Explore the palace gardens, imagine royal gatherings, and lose yourself in the enchanting atmosphere of this historically significant village.

2

Doune Castle

Venture to Doune Castle, an imposing 14th-century fortress instantly recognizable as Castle Leoch, the home of Clan MacKenzie in 'Outlander.' This formidable structure has also starred in 'Game of Thrones' and 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail,' adding to its allure. Explore the grand hall, ascend the towers for panoramic views of the River Teith, and imagine life within its ancient walls. Doune Castle offers a captivating glimpse into Scotland's medieval past and its enduring appeal as a filming location.

3

Callendar House

Discover Callendar House in Falkirk, an elegant French-style mansion that doubled as the Duke of Sandringham's kitchen in 'Outlander.' This stately home offers a fascinating journey through Scotland's social and industrial heritage. Explore the exhibits within the house, then stroll through its expansive grounds, where you'll find a section of the Antonine Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a testament to Roman influence in Scotland. Callendar House seamlessly blends architectural grandeur with historical significance, making it a rewarding destination.

4

Midhope Castle (Lallybroch)

Make a pilgrimage to Midhope Castle, the iconic Lallybroch, Jamie Fraser's beloved family home in 'Outlander.' While the interior remains closed, the castle's exterior evokes powerful emotions for fans of the series. Wander the grounds, capture memorable photographs, and immerse yourself in the spirit of Lallybroch. Even with limited access, the castle's presence resonates deeply, offering a tangible connection to one of 'Outlander's' most cherished locations. Note: Availability may be affected by filming schedules; if necessary, an equally remarkable alternative will be arranged.

5

Hopetoun House

Experience the grandeur of Hopetoun House, a magnificent example of Scottish baroque architecture and a prominent 'Outlander' filming location. This stately home served as the Duke of Sandringham's lavish residence, offering a glimpse into 17th-century aristocratic life. Explore the expansive grounds, featured in iconic scenes such as Jamie's ambush on Sandringham in the courtyard. Imagine the deer park transformed into the French countryside, and admire the house's majestic staircases and red sandstone exterior, which brought 18th-century Scotland to life. Enjoy panoramic views of the River Forth and the beautifully maintained gardens, combining history and cinematic appeal. Opt to enhance your experience with a tour of the house's opulent interiors.
