  • You'll discover Culross as the filming location for Cranesmuir in the popular Outlander series
  • A stop at Midhope Castle gives you the chance to see the real-life setting of Lallybroch from Outlander
  • You'll be amazed by the unique ship-like shape of Blackness Castle, known as "the ship that never sailed"
What to expect

You'll depart from Glasgow and head to Doune Castle, known to Outlander fans as Castle Leoch, the home of Clan MacKenzie. Explore this impressive 14th-century fortress and imagine life in the Highlands as it was in the series.

Next on the itinerary is a visit to Culross, the setting for the fictional Cranesmuir. Wander the cobbled streets and see Claire's herb garden. This picturesque village is a highlight for fans of both history and the Outlander. In Falkland, you'll have the opportunity to explore the town that doubled as 1940s Inverness. Enjoy a leisurely lunch and explore iconic landmarks like the Bruce Fountain, where the ghost of Jamie first appeared in Outlander's opening episode. Your next stop is Midhope Castle, known as Lallybroch, Jamie's ancestral home. Here, you can stroll around the peaceful estate and capture photos of this iconic setting. Although entry to the castle isn't permitted, simply standing before Lallybroch offers a sense of being part of the show!

Finally, take in the striking Blackness Castle, which played the role of Fort William. Savour magnificent views over the Firth of Forth before returning to Glasgow, arriving just in time for an evening meal.
