Highly recommended day out

This was a very enjoyable day away from Edinburgh to see some of the Outlander film locations. Tam was a great tour guide and went above and beyond to make the day a wonderful experience. Particularly loved the visit to Falkland at the end of the day. Thanks Tam!

A day full of Outlander - a day full of happiness

Beryl picked us up on time at the agreed meeting point in a comfortable Mercedes. Then we got coffee together and our journey could begin. Our journey was accompanied by Beryl's stories and information about Edinburgh and Scotland. Very informative and, because there were only two of us travelling, also detailed. Our first stop was: Midhope Castle or Lallybroch. Because we had started early, we were lucky and had Lallybroch almost to ourselves. Of course we had to take pictures of everything and Beryl was happy to help us with that too. The second stop was at Blackness Castle or, for Outlander fans, Fort William. A great "film set" on the Firth of Forth. The journey continued from Linlithgow via Falkirk, past the famous Kelpies, to Doune. As the name of the place says, so is the castle, Doune Castle, or Leoch Castle, the seat of the MacKenzie clan. The journey then took us, hungry, to "The Woodside" in Doune, which Beryl had chosen for us and which she highly recommends. Well fortified, Beryl led us through the Glendevon Valley, a beautiful Scottish landscape. The next highlight was Falkland, or: Inverness in Outlander. A typical Scottish town where "Mrs. Baird's B&B can be found". After a short drive, we reached Dysart Harbour, which served as the backdrop for Le Havre. A short walk along the harbour and we unfortunately had to make our way back. Beryl's family was waiting for her and the way back to Edinburgh, at the end of the working day, was waiting for all of us. With a coffee stop on the way, we reached the Scottish capital safely and soundly. My conclusion: a great day, packed with Outlander, which Beryl organized and carried out brilliantly. I can highly recommend her and TRIPorganiser Scotland.

Liebe Billa, vielen Dank für eure tolle Bewertung! Es freut mich sehr zu hören, dass ihr eine wunderbare Zeit mit mir als Ihrem Reiseführer und TRIPorganiser Scotland hattet. Ich bin froh, dass euch die pünktliche Abholung in unserem komfortablen Mercedes gefallen hat. Es war mir eine Freude, euch während der Fahrt informative Geschichten und Informationen über Edinburgh und Schottland zu erzählen. Es war besonders schön, dass ihr die Reise nur zu zweit gemacht habt, so konnte ich euch ausführliche Informationen geben. Es klingt nach einem perfekten Start mit dem Besuch von Midhope Castle oder Lallybroch, bei dem wir das Glück hatten, den Ort fast für uns alleine zu haben. Es war mir eine Freude, euch beim Festhalten der besonderen Momente behilflich zu sein. Der zweite Halt beim Blackness Castle oder Fort William war sicherlich ein toller Ort für Outlanderfans und bot eine beeindruckende Filmkulisse am Firth of Forth. Unsere Weiterfahrt führte uns über Linlithgow und Falkirk, vorbei an den berühmten Kelpies, nach Doune, wo wir das Doune Castle oder die Burg Leoch besuchten. Es freut mich zu hören, dass euch das von mir ausgewählte Restaurant "The Woodside" in Doune gefallen hat. Die Fahrt durch das Glendevon Tal bot sicherlich eine atemberaubende schottische Landschaft, und Falkland als das Inverness in Outlander war sicherlich ein weiteres Highlight. Der Besuch des Dysart Harbour als Kulisse für Le Havre rundete den Tag ab, bevor wir leider den Rückweg antreten mussten. Ich kann Ihnen versichern, dass eure Zufriedenheit und Sicherheit für mich immer oberste Priorität haben. Es war mir eine Freude, diesen Tag vollgepackt mit Outlander für euch zu organisieren und zu begleiten. Nochmals vielen Dank für eure Empfehlung von mir und TRIPorganiser Scotland. Ich hoffe, dass ich euch in Zukunft erneut bei einer Reise durch Schottland begleiten darf. Zögert nicht, euch bei weiteren Fragen oder Anliegen an mich zu wenden. Mit herzlichen Grüßen, Beryl

Fun Experience

Sean was a great guide and my wife and I loved seeing where Outlander was filmed. One of the sites (Midhope) is closed on Tues and Weds so keep that in mind if you are booking on those days.

Operator response

Hello Chris So glad you enjoyed your day. And you’re right we should add a little message about current opening times to our tour description! But then things change so quickly! Anyway. Thank you for you review!!! All the best Beryl
