From Glasgow: Outlander Adventure Tour with Castle Tickets

This day tour traces the film locations behind the 'Outlander' TV series, travelling by mini coach from Glasgow through the Scottish countryside. You'll pass Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument en route to Doune Castle, known on screen as Castle Leoch, where an audio guide covers both its Outlander scenes and its role in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The 14th-century interiors give a real sense of how a Scottish earl would have lived.

The route continues to Falkland, a small town that stood in for 1940s Inverness in the show's opening scenes, with a lunch stop to explore its streets and spot filming spots like Mrs Baird's Guesthouses and the Bruce Fountain. From there, you'll reach Midhope Castle, recreated on screen as Lallybroch, where you can sit on the steps and walk through the courtyard archway even though the interior itself was built in a film studio. Blackness Castle follows, nicknamed the 'ship that never sailed' for its boat-like silhouette, with time to walk its ramparts and picture it as Jack Randall's fictional headquarters.

The tour finishes in Culross, the cobbled village that doubled as Cranesmuir in the series, where you can search out Claire's herb garden behind Culross Palace before heading back to Glasgow in the early evening. It's a full day out, mixing genuine Scottish history with the stories and settings that shaped one of the country's best-known TV exports.
