The Journey
Midhope Castle (Lallybroch)
Step into the world of Jamie Fraser at Midhope Castle, better known as Lallybroch, his ancestral home in 'Outlander'. While the castle's interior is largely derelict, the exterior provides a stunning glimpse into 15th-century Scottish architecture. Built by John Martyne and later rebuilt in the mid-1600s, Midhope exudes a palpable sense of history and offers fans a unique opportunity to connect with the beloved series. While exploring, be sure to grab a souvenir t-shirt, phone case, or photo to commemorate your visit to this iconic filming location.
Doune Castle (Castle Leoch)
Journey to Doune Castle, a formidable medieval stronghold that served as the iconic Castle Leoch in 'Outlander'. This imposing structure, dating back to 1400, transports visitors to 18th-century Scotland. Doune Castle also boasts appearances in 'Game of Thrones' (as Winterfell) and 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail', making it a must-see for fans of historical dramas and comedies alike. Explore its towering walls and imagine life within this strategic fortress.
Luss Village, Loch Lomond
Escape to the picturesque conservation village of Luss, nestled on the western shore of Loch Lomond. With its charming stone cottages, colorful flower displays, and breathtaking views of Ben Lomond, Luss offers a tranquil retreat into the heart of the Scottish Highlands. Its idyllic beauty made it a perfect location for filming historical romance scenes in 'Outlander', making it a delightful stop for fans and nature lovers seeking serenity and scenic beauty.
Balvaird Castle
Discover the historical grandeur of Balvaird Castle, a testament to Scottish tower house architecture dating back to the late 1400s. Once home to the Murrays of Balvaird, this impressive structure boasts a four-storey tower, inner and outer courtyards, remnants of service buildings, a formal walled garden, and a large walled pleasance. Explore the grounds and imagine the lives of those who once resided within these ancient walls, offering a glimpse into Scotland's rich past.
Melville House
Uncover the fascinating history of Melville House, originally commissioned by George, the 1st Earl of Melville, in the late 17th century. The Earl's involvement in the Rye House Plot led him to seek refuge in Holland, a historical connection that serves as the inspiration for the modern name 'Melville Escapes'. Explore this grand estate and delve into its intriguing past, connecting with the stories of those who sought sanctuary within its walls.
