day 1 - Outlander Castles &the Scottish Countryside

Set off on your Outlander tour from Glasgow and head straight to Doune Castle*, known to fans as Castle Leoch, the home of Clan MacKenzie. Explore this impressive 14th-century fortress and imagine life in the Highlands as it was in the series.

Next, visit Culross, the setting for the fictional Cranesmuir. Wander the cobbled streets and see Claire’s herb garden. This picturesque village is a highlight for fans of both history and Outlander.

In Falkland, explore the town that doubled as 1940s Inverness. Enjoy a leisurely lunch and explore iconic landmarks like the Bruce Fountain, where the ghost of Jamie first appeared in Outlander’s opening episode.

Our next stop is Midhope Castle*, known as Lallybroch, Jamie’s ancestral home. Here, you can stroll around the peaceful estate and capture photos of this iconic setting. While you can’t step inside the castle, simply standing before Lallybroch feels like being a part of the show!

Finally, take in striking Blackness Castle*, which served as Fort William. Enjoy stunning views over the Firth of Forth, then we'll return to Glasgow, arriving in time for dinner.
