From Edinburgh: Outlander Film Locations Day Trip with Entry｜United Kingdom

Begin your Outlander adventure by leaving Edinburgh and following the trail of film locations featured in the Outlander TV series.

First, travel to Midhope Castle, known as Jamie’s lovely home, Lallybroch. Although you can’t explore the ruins of the castle, you can sit on the iconic steps of Lallybroch and wait for Jamie or Claire to walk through the beautiful archway in the courtyard.

Next, journey through the charming countryside to Blackness Castle. Walk along the ramparts and explore the fictional headquarters of Jack Randall.

Continue to Linlithgow Palace, otherwise known as Wentworth Prison. Have lunch here, try local specialties, or have a picnic by the loch and take a photo of the ruins of Mary Queen of Scots’ birthplace.

Heading north, journey past Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument to Doune Castle, or as it’s called in Outlander, Castle Leoch. Discover its real story and get an insight into the living conditions of a Scottish earl in the 14th century. There’s also an excellent audio guide describing how this castle was used as a filming location for Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Travel back in time once more as your driver-guide takes you to Culross. This virtually unchanged 16th-century village overlooks the sea and poses as the fictional town of Cranesmuir. Visit Claire’s herb garden, explore the palace, or wander the ancient streets while you imagine what life must have been like 400 years ago.

From there, head back to Edinburgh, where you arrive in the late afternoon.
