Morning light catches damp stone as the minibus peels away from Queen Street Station and the day opens into the Lowlands and Highlands beyond. You move from Glasgow’s granite to coastal fortresses and rolling parklands—Blackness Castle’s dark silhouette looming over the Firth of Forth, the farmstead face of Midhope where Lallybroch breathes fiction into reality, the spare streets of Falkland that double as Inverness, and Doune Castle’s compact keep where clan politics played out on screen.
