US hit TV series Outlander is the story of Claire Randall, a World War Two nurse who is mysteriously swept back in time to 18th century Scotland. She meets Jacobite Jamie Fraser in the period leading up to the Jacobite uprising of 1745.
The popular series has been filmed extensively around Scotland as well as in TV studios in Cumbernauld near Glasgow. For all budding Outlander fans it is possible to tour some of the historic locations and stately homes on a one, two or three day Outlander tour.
This bespoke luxury private tour of Scotland is hosted by your knowledgable, friendly local tour guide. We'll tell you the history, folklore and stories, really bringing the places and landscapes to life! We offer flexibility and your time inside and outside the vehicle is up to you.
All our tours are conducted in luxury Mercedes-Benz V Class minivans, with great personal space, sumptuous leather seats, A/C and panoramic windows.
RECOMMENDED SIGHTS ON THIS TOUR …
Duke of Sandringham’s residence (Hopetoun House)
The grandest stately home in Scotland (and one of the grandest in the UK) stands 10 miles west of Edinburgh. Hopetoun House is the fictional home of the Duke of Sandringham. Hopetoun is open to visitors throughout the summer.
Lallybroch (Midhope Castle)
Located near Edinburgh in the grounds of Hopetoun House, Midhope Castle is the outside location for Lallybroch, the castle that Jamie lives and works on. It is a 16th century towerhouse that was extended but now lies derelict.
One of the most infamous scenes filmed here is the flogging of Jamie in the castle gates, which is an original feature for visits to experience.
Please note we also visit Midhope on our main Outlander Locations tour, so if you are booking both tours we’ll add in a wee secret location instead!
Le Harve, France (Dysart Harbour)
Situated on the northern shore of the River Forth, Dysart is a picturesque harbour that is the stand-in for Le Harve, France. Claire, Jamie and Murtagh arrive in France at the start of season 2. This sleepy alcove on the Fife coast is immediately recognisable when ‘The Reaper’ arrives across the North Sea on their fateful voyage from 18th century Scotland.
Inverness (Falkland)
Falkland near Cupar in The Kingdom of Fife is used as Inverness in Outlander rather than the real-life Inverness situated in the heard of the Highlands. Mysterious events happen here, when Frank is startled by a mysterious figure. Could it be the ghost of Jamie himself? Falkland is also home to a Renaissance style Palace that was build in 1500 primarily as a hunting lodge.
Abbey of Saint Anne de Beaupré (Aberdour Castle)
Aberdour Castle shone as the Abbey of Saint Anne de Beaupré, the fictional Benedictine monastery located on the northern coast of France. Its ancient stone walls and tranquil setting perfectly evoked the quiet piety of a French monastery. One of Jamie’s uncles is abbot here and Claire and Murtagh bring Jamie to the abbey after his incarceration at Wentworth Prison. Overcome with depression and despair, Claire uses unorthodox methods to draw him out of himself at the Abbey.
