Scotland Outlander Guided Tour
As we eagerly await Season 8 of Outlander on STARZ, the passion for this epic story has never been stronger. Millions have watched it, read it, and fallen in love with it. But some fans want more than watching from the sofa—they want to step inside the world of Outlander.
While we can’t promise time travel through Scotland’s ancient standing stones (though you’re welcome to try 😉), we can promise an unforgettable journey through the real places that brought Jamie and Claire’s story to life—including locations and themes that resonate strongly as the saga reaches its dramatic Season 8 conclusion.
Inspired by the beloved TV series and Diana Gabaldon’s novels, our 4-day guided Outlander tour of Scotland is designed for true fans. Traveling in a small group of no more than 16 guests, you’ll follow in the footsteps of Jamie and Claire, visiting iconic filming locations from across the series—along with sites tied to the later seasons and the story’s final chapters.
You’ll explore legendary castles, Highland landscapes, and historic villages used throughout Outlander, while also delving into key Jacobite history and emotionally significant settings that gain renewed meaning as Season 8 approaches. Expect places associated with Clan Fraser, Inverness and its mystical stones, battlefields, royal strongholds, and locations that echo the legacy, loss, and love at the heart of the story.
Along the way, share this once-in-a-lifetime experience with fellow Outlander fans from around the world. Swap favorite quotes, relive unforgettable scenes, and soak up the romance, mystery, and magic of Scotland—the ultimate Outlander backdrop.
Your expert guide brings each location to life, blending behind-the-scenes filming insight with the real history that inspired the show. After all, the name Outlander itself speaks to the tension between worlds—Highlander and outsider, past and present—an idea that remains central as the story reaches its final season.

4 DAY OUTLANDER SPECIAL TOUR: Highlights
Clava Cairns
Travel along winding Highland roads to this 4,000-year-old burial site, widely believed to have inspired Craigh na Dun. A powerful, atmospheric stop that resonates throughout the series—especially as the Outlander story comes full circle.
Doune Castle (Castle Leoch)
One of Scotland’s most famous filming locations. Doune Castle stands in for Castle Leoch, home of Clan MacKenzie. Also featured in Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Game of Thrones, it’s impossible not to feel starstruck here.
Loch Ness
Enjoy time at Scotland’s most mysterious loch. Take an optional boat cruise or wander the shoreline—monster spotting encouraged.
Glen Affric
Often called one of Scotland’s most beautiful glens, Glen Affric’s lochs, mountains, and ancient pine forests create classic Highland scenery—and an ideal hiding place for a certain red-haired Highlander.
Culloden Battlefield
A deeply moving site in both Scottish history and Outlander. Walk the battlefield where the Jacobite Rising ended, a place of heartbreak and lasting legacy in the series.
Culross (Cranesmuir)
A perfectly preserved 16th-century village used as Cranesmuir, home to Geillis Duncan. With cobbled streets and historic buildings, it feels untouched by time.
Falkland
This charming town in Fife doubles as 1940s Inverness. Recognize familiar locations including Mrs. Baird’s Guesthouse, the Bruce Fountain, and shopfronts featured in early episodes.
Day 1 Midhope -Doune Castle - Scottish Highlands
Depart Edinburgh and begin your Outlander tour of Scotland, following the trail of the most iconic filming locations from the hit TV series.
Your first stop is Midhope Castle, instantly recognizable as Lallybroch, Jamie Fraser’s beloved family home. While the interior scenes were recreated on studio sets and the castle itself cannot be entered, you’ll have time to explore the ruins from the outside. Sit on the famous stone steps, stand beneath the beautiful archway in the courtyard, and imagine Jamie or Claire walking toward you—one of the most emotional and memorable locations for Outlander fans.
Continue through rolling countryside, passing Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument, before arriving at Doune Castle, known to Outlander fans as Castle Leoch. This impressive medieval fortress served as the ancestral home of Colum MacKenzie and Clan MacKenzie in the early seasons of the series.
Explore the castle at your own pace with an included audio guide, which highlights its roles in Outlander, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Game of Thrones. Prefer the outdoors? Take a peaceful walk along the river, explore nearby trails, or capture stunning photos of the castle framed by Highland scenery.
From here, travel north into Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, officially entering the Scottish Highlands. Journey past shimmering lochs and rugged mountain peaks as you cross the hauntingly beautiful Rannoch Moor, arriving in the dramatic valley of Glencoe. Known for its raw beauty and tragic history, Glencoe features prominently in Outlander and Scottish lore. Enjoy time for photos or a short walk while your guide shares the powerful story behind this iconic landscape. Lunch is included in the area.
After lunch, continue to Glenfinnan, where the towering monument marks the gathering of Bonnie Prince Charlie and his supporters, signaling the start of the ill-fated Jacobite Rising. Set against the stunning backdrop of Loch Shiel, this location is also near the famous viaduct used as the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter films—making it a must-see for fans of both worlds.
In the early evening, travel along the shores of Loch Ness, known for its deep, dark, mysterious waters—and, of course, its legendary monster. Arrive in Inverness, often called the Capital of the Scottish Highlands, where the evening is yours to enjoy. Dine at a local restaurant, stroll along the River Ness islands, or admire views of Inverness Castle as you unwind after a day filled with unforgettable Outlander locations and Highland scenery.
Start the day in breathtaking Glen Affric, surrounded by Caledonian pine forests and sweeping Highland scenery.
In the afternoon, visit Culloden Battlefield, a pivotal location in both Scottish history and Outlander. Explore the visitor center and walk the battlefield where Jamie and Claire’s story intersects with real historical tragedy.
Later, visit the haunting Clava Cairns, an ancient stone circle believed to have inspired Craigh na Dun—an especially meaningful stop as the series approaches its conclusion.
Return to Inverness for a relaxed evening.
Day 3 – Clan Lands, Whisky & Loch NessTravel to Beauly Priory, resting place of Lord Lovat and tied closely to Clan Fraser lore in the books. Continue to Castle Leod, seat of Clan Mackenzie, whose resemblance to Castle Leoch is a remarkable coincidence.
In the afternoon, enjoy a whisky distillery tour and tasting—a true Highland experience. Then journey along the full length of Loch Ness, keeping an eye out for Nessie before arriving in Fort William for overnight.
Day 4 – Glenfinnan, Glencoe & Castle LeochBegin at Glenfinnan Monument, marking the start of the Jacobite Rising and set amid spectacular scenery at Loch Shiel.
Continue through Glencoe, one of Scotland’s most dramatic and emotionally charged landscapes, before heading south through the Trossachs.
Your final major stop is Doune Castle, the iconic Castle Leoch. Explore the stronghold that served as the heart of Clan MacKenzie in the series.
Return to Edinburgh, with a photo stop at Blackness Castle, which appears in later seasons and gains added significance as the story progresses.
