Itinerary
Midhope Castle is your next highlight. Unfortunately, visitors are unable to go inside the castle, but Jamie’s lovely Lallybroch home is still an essential photo opportunity for any fan of the show. Jamie’s family home, Lallybroch, is as lovely as it looks in the show.
Blackness Castle entrance included in tour price. The tough-looking castle looks like it could fend off an entire empire. And in Outlander, it impersonates Fort William.
Next is Linlithgow Palace, the birthplace of Mary, Queen of Scots, also known as Wentworth Prison. Here, you can have lunch, explore the town, or wander around the loch.
*Doune Castle entrance included in tour price. In Outlander, it’s the fictional Castle Leoch. And in reality, it’s a stunning castle with a tall gate house, an impressive great hall, and lovely views of the River Teith.
Finally, we head to Culross, a virtually unchanged 16th-century village that represents the fictional town of Cranesmuir. You can visit Claire's herb garden, explore the palace, or wander the ancient streets, imagining life 400 years ago.

Our driver was Lyn and was AMAZING!!! She shared so much history and information about everything we saw. I would recommend her to everyone! Just a lovely person.
From start to finish this tour exceeded our expectations. Great site visits and wonderful tour guide. So much fun.
This tour was beautiful and I loved the locations that we went to. However, Linlithgow Palace.was on the itinerary (Wentworth Prison in Outlander), and I was excited to see it and spend time there. It wasn’t until we were on the bus that we learned that we wouldn’t be going there. I was really disappointed, as that is part of the reason I chose the trip. All other aspects, including our guide Stephen, were wonderful. I just think that we should have been told this prior to the trip, and we should have had a reduced rate because it wasn’t included.
Fantastic trip 😁 Good and knowledgeable guide, Sean. Got plenty of time at the various locations to explore what we wanted 😁
We liked Blackness and Doune Castles, which had admission included in the tour cost were well worth it; but it was disappointing that Midhope was not and cost us additional to get past the gate to actually get up to “Lollybrach”. The “lunch” stop didn’t allow us time to sit and eat while also seeing the palace - which was also an additional cost. The other stops were not worth the time. Overall, the expense was too high - we did have the same tour booked for several hundred less, but it was cancelled by the tour group. If we had paid less/the original price, I would have been happier.
My wife absolutely loved this trip. Even though I was a bit lost it was still very enjoyable! Recommend!
Ian, our guide was extremely knowledgeable and funny. His commentary was most helpful and enjoyable. The Outlander locations were very relavant to the show.
Lovely tour out to 3 castles that were used as, or inspiration for, filming segments of Outlander. Beautiful countryside and witty narration from our host Ewan (spelling?)
Amazing sights and great tour guide! Jim Divine kept us informed and entertained the whole trip. Very knowledgeable of Outlander and of all things Scottish.
What a great way to see the series you love in a personal way. Great stops and the best guide ever leading the way. I can’t imagine a better tour than the one Sean provided. He was made for this!! And thankfully, we brought the sunshine from Texas so we didn’t have to knock off a star for rain.
