The Journey
Midhope Castle (Lallybroch)
Step into the world of Jamie and Claire Fraser at Midhope Castle, known to Outlander fans as the cherished Lallybroch. While the interior is derelict, the castle's exterior provides a powerful connection to the series. Feel the weight of history as you stand before its weathered stone facade, imagining the tumultuous events that unfolded within its walls. Although not open to the public regularly, pre-booked tours offer a deeper experience. The surrounding landscape, typical of the Scottish Lowlands, adds to the castle's remote and romantic appeal.
Blackness Castle
Experience the formidable presence of Blackness Castle, a 15th-century fortress dramatically situated on the shores of the Firth of Forth. Nicknamed 'the ship that never sailed' due to its unique shape, this stronghold has served as a noble residence, a prison, and a garrison. Outlander fans will recognize it as Fort William, where the dark deeds of Jack Randall unfolded. Explore its imposing ramparts, imagining the sieges and power struggles that have shaped its history, and enjoy panoramic views of the Scottish coastline.
Linlithgow Palace
Discover the regal grandeur of Linlithgow Palace, a magnificent ruin steeped in royal history. The birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, this palace once served as a luxurious residence for Scottish monarchs. While featured as Wentworth Prison in Outlander, its real-life history is just as captivating. Wander through the roofless chambers, imagining the opulent banquets and royal intrigues that once filled these halls. The adjacent loch adds to the serene beauty of the setting, offering a peaceful escape amidst the echoes of the past.
Doune Castle (Castle Leoch)
Journey to Doune Castle, a formidable medieval stronghold that served as Castle Leoch in Outlander. Explore its towering battlements and grand hall, imagining life within the MacKenzie clan. Beyond its Outlander fame, Doune Castle boasts a rich history, having been built in the 13th century and played a vital role in Scottish history, witnessing sieges and royal visits. This castle's past as a filming location for Monty Python and the Holy Grail adds another layer of intrigue to your visit.
Culross
Step back in time in Culross, a beautifully preserved 16th-century village that served as Cranesmuir in Outlander. Wander through its cobbled streets and discover its charming historic buildings, including the ochre-colored Culross Palace and the dramatic Town House. Imagine life centuries ago as you explore the Mercat Cross and envision Claire's herb garden. The village offers a unique glimpse into Scotland's past, untouched by modern development, making it a truly immersive experience.
