More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You glide out of Glasgow in a leather-upholstered vehicle as low clouds lift off the Firth of Forth, the rail-and-road bridges carving the skyline. Your driver threads quiet A-roads toward Blackness Castle, where weathered stone and tidal flats play the part of Fort William, then onward to Midhope’s ruined courtyard steps—the Lallybroch scene that fans photograph repeatedly.
