Itinerary
One of our favourite villages in Scotland and the ideal location to film the scenes for Inverness in Outlander. Walk through the beautiful streets for that picture perfect opportunity.
We will then take the short drive to Blackness Castle that was used for Fort William. This is the location where our hero Jamie was brutally flogged by the sinister Jack Randell. Scale the castle walls of the ‘ship that never sailed’, and enjoy the sweeping views of the Firth of Forth.
Midhope castle is an essential for every Outlander fan as it was the site for Jamie’s home Lallybroch. Walk around the courtyard and remember some of the most iconic scenes from Outlander.
We will soon arrive at the beautiful village of Culross which was the perfect setting for the fictional village of Cranesmuir in Outlander. Explore the cobbled stone streets, which was home to Geillis Duncan and her ill-fated husband, Arthur.
We will then drive you back to your accommodation.
