Know More about this tour


A photo-stop at Linlithgow Palace which stands in for the prison entrance & corridors.
The 15th century fortress of Blackness Castle which doubles as the setting for the Fort William headquarters of Black Jack Randall and the heart-wrenching scene of Jamies incarceration. With views of the Forth Bridges as a backdrop Blackness Castle is a great opportunity for photos too.
One of the finest examples of Scotlands grand architecture, the splendid Hopetoun House, on the outskirts of Edinburgh, doubled as the stately home of the Duke of Sandringham in season one; provided the backdrop for Parisian streets, the spare room in Jamie and Claires Paris apartment, and the Hawkins Estate in season two and Ellesmere and the stables at Helwater in season three. Interesting fact: in real life the house is vast compared to how it appears in the TV show, as some of its wings were digitally erased.Access can sometimes be gained to Lallybroch Midhope Castle too for photos, this is subject to the day and not guaranteed.Open: April to September
As your tour leaves Edinburgh admire magnificent views across the Firth of Forth as you drive north to Fife. Keep a look out for the UNESCO-listed Forth Bridge as you cross the Forth Road Bridge, then soak up the scenery as you wind through the countryside.
Next we make our way to the filming location of The Royal Burgh of Culross, a town that time has passed by, which lies on the banks of the River Forth and was the location for the fictional village of Cranesmuir. The town centre dates back to the 16th Century and it is at Culross Palace that you will find Claires herb garden and many of the buildings that star in the show. It is the most complete example in Scotland today of a Burgh of the 17th & 18th centuries.
Leaving Culross now travel to Castle Leoch, home to the fictional Colum MacKenzie and the MacKenzie clan, in the beautiful little town of Doune. Doune Castle was built around 1400 by Robert Stewart, 1st Duke of Albany, Earl of Menteith and Fife, a magnificent late 14th century courtyard castle. It plays a leading role in the show standing in for the fictional Castle Leoch, home to Colum MacKenzie and his clan in the 18th century episodes, and if you want to see the famous backdrop where Claires mysteriously disappears through the standing stones Its most striking feature is the 100ft high gatehouse which includes the splendid Lords Hall with its musicians gallery, double fireplace and carved oak screen and you can hear the stories of the making of Monty Python and the Holy Grail which was also filmed at the castle.
Filming took place at the University of Glasgow during the summer of 2016, then later in the winter. It was used for scenes involving Harvard University, where Frank worked as a Professor.The University is Glasgow one of the worlds oldest universities, dating back to its founding in 1451. It is the fourth oldest university in the English-speaking world.Located in the the west end of Glasgow it is surrounded by many inviting attractions, including nearby art galleries, parks and lovely tree-lined streets.

    Three friends and myself had the pleasure of spending a few hours with William on our Outlander Tour. He picked us up at our Airbnb, and drove us all around to stop and see the most amazing castles and houses where our favorite TV show was filmed. Our van was clean, comfortable and stocked with some nice treats, water and even a blanket. William took us to a great place for lunch, but the highlight of our trip was stumbling upon a set that was being used to film an upcoming episode. We couldn't stay and wait as the scene was being filmed at night, but it was exciting nonetheless. Thank you William for putting up with us for 10 hours. I'm sure you slept well that evening and had stories to share with your wife. Hope to see you again. Patty (New Jersey) Betty (New Jersey) Lizzie (Virginia) Londa (Seattle)
