Lallybroch/Broch Tuarach – Midhope Castle

We begin at Midhope Castle, known to the world as Lallybroch or Broch Tuarach —a place of love, loyalty, and loss. The ancestral home of Jamie Fraser, where laughter once rang through the courtyard, and shadows of the past linger in the air. Stand in the doorway, gaze across the land, and hear the whisper of vows made beneath these ancient stones.

Fort William – Blackness Castle

From the warmth of Lallybroch/Broch Tuarach, we descend into darker territory—the forbidding walls of Fort William, where Captain Black Jack Randall’s cruelty knew no bounds. The ominous Blackness Castle, standing grimly against the Firth of Forth, bears witness to both Outlander’s horrors and Scotland’s real history of battles and betrayals.

Wentworth Prison – Linlithgow Palace

Further still, we reach Linlithgow Palace, once a jewel of the Scottish crown, now forever remembered as Wentworth Prison, where Jamie Fraser faced his greatest torment. Walk the corridors where the past still clings to the walls, and imagine the weight of chains, the echoes of footsteps, and the silent pleas of those lost to time.

Cranesmuir – Culross

In the heart of Culross, time stands still. This perfectly preserved 17th-century village becomes Cranesmuir, where Geillis Duncan’s secrets unraveled, where whispers of rebellion stirred, and where Claire’s healing hands once tended the herb garden behind Culross Palace. As you wander the winding cobbled streets, past white-harled houses and the iconic Mercat Cross, you step not just into Outlander’s world, but into a Scotland untouched by time.

Castle Leoch – Doune Castle

No journey through Outlander is complete without stepping into the world of Clan MacKenzie. Doune Castle, with its towering battlements and winding staircases, was the perfect choice to portray Castle Leoch. The stone passageways lead you back through centuries, where alliances were made, loyalties tested, and the future of Scotland shaped by those who called this place home.

Highland Folk Museum – A Glimpse into Highlander Life

Time rewinds further as we visit the Highland Folk Museum, where the 18th century breathes again. The thatched crofts, smoky hearths, and simple wooden tools paint a vivid picture of Highland life before Culloden, before change, before war. It is here that Claire first found her place among the Highlanders—among a people both fierce and kind, whose way of life was soon to vanish.

The Real Inverness – A City of Legends and Legacy

We end our first day in Inverness, the true heart of the Highlands, where history and Outlander’s fiction entwine. Though depicted in the series through Falkland’s cobbled streets, the real Inverness holds centuries of Highland heritage. We visit Abertaff House, the oldest surviving building in Inverness, dating back to 1593, once home to Clan Fraser of Lovat. Walking these streets, you can almost hear the whispers of the past—of Jacobite plots, Highland resilience, and the echoes of Claire and Jamie’s story set against the backdrop of a city that has stood the test of time.

Overnight in Inverness.
