Outlander Day Tour: Step into the World of Jamie and Claire with Stravaigin Scotland

 If you’re a fan of the hit TV series Outlander or the Diana Gabaldon novels that inspired it, there’s no better way to experience the beauty, mystery, and romance of Scotland than by joining Stravaigin Scotland’s Outlander Day Tour. Our carefully crafted journey lets you step into the world of Jamie and Claire, exploring the iconic sites where history and fiction intertwine.


Walk in the Footsteps of Outlander’s Heroes

The Outlander Day Tour begins in Edinburgh, where our knowledgeable guides, passionate about both the series and Scottish history, will whisk you away to several key filming locations that bring the show to life. As you travel through scenic countryside, you’ll discover ancient castles, charming villages, and atmospheric spots that have played a starring role in the Outlander saga.

Highlights of the Outlander Day Tour:

  1. Midhope Castle (Lallybroch)
    Known to fans as Lallybroch, Midhope Castle is the ancestral home of Jamie Fraser. Walking through its grounds, you’ll immediately recognize the stone façade and courtyards where many emotional moments from the series unfolded. This iconic location is a must-see for any Outlander fan.

  2. Blackness Castle (Fort William)
    Overlooking the Firth of Forth, Blackness Castle serves as the menacing Fort William in the series, where some of the most intense scenes between Jamie and Black Jack Randall take place. The castle’s stark architecture and windswept views offer a glimpse into Scotland’s dramatic past.

  3. Linlithgow Palace (Wentworth Prison)
    The ruins of Linlithgow Palace, once a royal residence, double as the infamous Wentworth Prison in the series. As you explore the eerie corridors and towering walls, you’ll recall pivotal moments from the show that left viewers on the edge of their seats.

  4. Falkland (Inverness in 1940s)
    Step back in time as we visit the picturesque village of Falkland, which stands in for 1940s Inverness, where Claire’s journey to the past begins. You’ll recognize the cobbled streets and traditional buildings from the opening scenes of the series. This quaint village exudes charm, making it an ideal stop for both history buffs and Outlander enthusiasts.

  5. Doune Castle (Castle Leoch)
    Doune Castle, featured as Castle Leoch, the seat of Clan MacKenzie, is a historical gem in its own right. With its rich heritage and impressive architecture, it provides a window into Scotland’s medieval past, while also evoking the Outlander scenes where Jamie and Claire’s story first began.

A Unique Blend of Fiction and History

While Outlander fans will relish the opportunity to see these iconic filming locations, our tour also offers a deeper dive into Scottish history. Our expert guides will share fascinating stories about the Jacobite uprising, clan culture, and the real events that shaped the backdrop of Outlander’s storyline.
