Everything you should know before you book
The Outlander series filmed across the country within reach of Edinburgh — Doune Castle stands in for Castle Leoch, Linlithgow Palace for Wentworth Prison, and the village of Falkland for 1940s and 1740s Inverness. Day trips string these locations together, often pairing them with Jacobite history and the real Scotland behind the story.
These are full-day driving tours, so you're trading a relaxed pace for covering several locations. Fans get the most out of a guide who knows the show scene-by-scene; the same routes also work as a general central-Scotland history tour for non-watchers. Book ahead — Outlander tours are perennially popular.
Frequently asked questions
Do Outlander tours visit the actual filming locations?
Yes — routes typically include Doune Castle, Linlithgow Palace, and Falkland, the real locations used in the series, with guides who explain which scenes were shot where.
Is the tour worth it if I haven't watched Outlander?
It works as a central-Scotland castles-and-history day trip on its own, but fans get the most from the scene-by-scene commentary.
How long is an Outlander day trip?
Plan a full day — usually 8 to 10 hours — to cover several locations spread across the central belt and beyond.
