Description

We kick off the day in Edinburgh on this small group tour, bound for the iconic Midhope Castle, aka Lallybroch to all you Outlander fans. Next, we roll on to Doune Castle, also known as Castle Leoch, and a filming spot for Game of Thrones, Outlaw King, and Monty Python & the Holy Grail. This medieval gem is a beauty, with tales of kings, battles, and comedy all rolled into one. Then, we journey over to the ancient Kingdom of Fife to explore Falkland, which doubles as 1940’s Inverness in Outlander. You might even spot Jamie’s ghostly figure roaming the village square! For lunch, we head to Culross, a colourful village that starred as Cranesmuir where Claire and Geillis were nearly burned at the stake for witchcraft. Saving the best for last, we hit Blackness Castle, the fictional Fort William in Outlander, home to the notorious Captain Jack Randall and his dark deeds. After this historical journey, we’ll soak in the jaw-dropping views of the Forth Bridges before returning to Edinburgh in the early evening, ready to reminisce about one unforgettable day of TV magic!
