Small Group Outlander Tour from Edinburgh

Wrap up warm and join us for a winter adventure through some of Scotland’s most memorable Outlander filming locations.

Our Winter Outlander Adventure has been designed for fans who want to see the iconic locations, hear the stories behind them and enjoy the experience with a knowledgeable Outlander guide – without the price of a private tour.

And there’s an important difference with our tour.

You’ll travel with a professional driver AND a separate dedicated Outlander guide.

While your driver takes care of the road, your guide is free to spend the day with you – sharing stories from the series, pointing out filming locations, answering your questions and bringing the world of Outlander to life.

With a maximum of just 15 guests, it’s a relaxed, friendly way to discover Outlander’s Scotland.

Midhope Castle – Lallybroch

For many Outlander fans, this is the moment they have been waiting for.

Midhope Castle provided the unforgettable exterior of Lallybroch, Jamie Fraser’s beloved family home.

Walk up the familiar approach, stand in front of the house and imagine Jamie and Claire arriving home. You will have the change to enter the castle and see the small exhibition inside the actual room where they filmed all those memorable entry's and exits!

And yes – there will be plenty of time for photographs.

Blackness Castle – Fort William

Next, things get a little darker as we head to imposing Blackness Castle, used as Fort William in Outlander.

Standing dramatically on the shores of the Firth of Forth, this formidable fortress provided the setting for some of the series’ most memorable scenes involving Black Jack Randall.

Explore the castle, hear the stories behind the filming and discover the fascinating real history of this extraordinary place.

Doune Castle – Castle Leoch

Welcome to Castle Leoch, home of Colum MacKenzie and his clan.

In reality, this magnificent medieval stronghold is Doune Castle, and Outlander fans will immediately recognise its courtyard and exterior.

We'll revisit Claire's arrival at Castle Leoch, talk about the characters and scenes filmed here and also discover some of the castle's remarkable history beyond Outlander.

If the castle looks familiar for another reason, you may not be imagining things – Doune has had quite a screen career!

Culross – Cranesmuir

Our journey takes us into one of Scotland's most beautiful historic villages.

The cobbled streets and wonderfully preserved buildings of Culross became Cranesmuir, the village close to Castle Leoch and home of Geillis Duncan.

We'll explore the streets used during filming, find some familiar viewpoints and hear about the scenes and characters associated with this very special place.

Even if you've never watched Outlander, Culross feels like stepping several centuries back in time.

Return to Edinburgh - drop off at Burr and Co, George Street.

We've been welcoming Outlander fans to Scotland for more than a decade, sharing not only the filming locations but the stories, history and little details that make visiting them so special.

Our small-group Winter Outlander Adventure gives you the best of both worlds: the atmosphere and value of travelling with a small group, together with the attention of a dedicated guide who isn't also driving the vehicle.

That means your guide can concentrate on you and your Outlander experience throughout the day. 

Interesting fact about us - We  had the pleasure of hosting Diana Gabaldon as part of a Visit Scotland press day back in 2018 after Diana deservedly was awarded a Thistle Award for Outstanding Contribution to Scotland's Tourism.

Rather than combining the jobs of driving and guiding, we use a professional driver and a separate dedicated guide, allowing your guide to focus completely on making your Outlander day memorable.

Scotland in winter can be wonderfully atmospheric – and wonderfully Scottish!

Please come prepared for changeable weather with warm layers, a waterproof jacket and comfortable footwear suitable for cobbled streets, castle grounds and uneven surfaces.

Opening times and access to filming locations can occasionally change, particularly during the winter months. If circumstances outside our control prevent us visiting one of the planned locations, we'll do our best to provide a suitable alternative.

Come for the filming locations, stay for the stories – and discover a little more of the real Scotland along the way.
