This nine-hour tour from Edinburgh visits filming locations from the Outlander TV series, historic palaces, castles, and sites connected to the Jacobites. The trip starts with a 10-minute photo stop at the Tullyies Standing Stones. Next is a one-hour visit to Culross, a 17th-century village used as Claire’s herb garden and Cranesmuir Village in Outlander. The tour then continues to Doune Castle for a 75-minute optional visit; this castle served as Castle Leoch in the series and has appeared in other films and TV shows. On the way, the group passes Stirling Castle. After Doune, the tour heads south to Linlithgow Palace, where there is 75 minutes for lunch and an optional tour of Wentworth Prison, featured in Outlander. Linlithgow Palace was historically a royal retreat between Edinburgh and Stirling. From there, the tour travels to Blackness Castle for a 60-minute optional visit. Known as “the ship that never sailed” because of its triangular shape extending into the Forth, Blackness Castle was the location for Fort William, the headquarters of Black Jack Randall in Outlander. It also offers views of the three Forth bridges. The final stop depends on the season. In summer, there is a 60-minute optional visit to Midhope Castle, which was used as Lallybroch, Jamie Fraser’s family home. If Midhope Castle is closed or during winter, the tour ends with a 15-minute stop at the Forth Bridges, which span three centuries and connect Fife to the Lothians. The tour includes air-conditioned transportation and live commentary from a knowledgeable driver-guide. Food, drinks, attraction tickets, gratuities, onboard restrooms, and WiFi are not included.
