Description
The tour begins at 190 High Street on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile with a visit to Blackness Castle. This 15th-century fortress served as a port for Linlithgow and was one of the most advanced artillery fortifications of its time. Only an external visit is included.
Next is Midhope Castle, also known as Lallybroch, the 16th-century tower that represents Jamie Fraser’s home. This site is popular among fans wanting to experience the series’ locations up close. Please note entrance tickets are not included.
Then the tour visits Linlithgow Palace, which served as a main residence for Scottish monarchs during the 15th and 16th centuries. James V and Mary Queen of Scots were born here. The palace later became the site of historical events including Bonnie Prince Charlie’s visit and a fire set by Duke of Cumberland’s troops. Linlithgow Palace portrayed Wentworth Prison in Outlander.
The journey continues to the village of Doune and Doune Castle. This medieval fortress remains largely unchanged and has featured in Monty Python, Game of Thrones, and Outlander. Tickets are not included.
The tour then explores Culross, a 17th-century village on the Firth of Forth. Its narrow streets, well-maintained cottages, and Culross Castle stand out. Fans will recognize Cranesmuir, the Procurator’s house, and the palace gardens as Claire’s garden from the series.
The final stop is Falkland, a 16th-century village in Fife with cobbled streets and colorful houses. Falkland Palace dominates with Renaissance architecture and historic gardens. Several exteriors appeared in Outlander. The village and valley views complete the visit.
