    What you'll see and do

    1. Blackness Castle

      Our first stop on the tour is Blackness Castle, famously featured as Fort William in the filming of Outlander. Known as the "ship that never sailed" due to its distinctive shape resembling a stone ship anchored on the Firth of Forth, the castle offers a glimpse into Scotland’s storied past. During our visit, you'll enjoy a 30-minute guided experience to uncover its fascinating history and it's where they filmed, followed by an additional 30 minutes of free time to explore at your own pace, take photos, and soak in the atmosphere.

    2. Midhope Castle

      Next on our tour is Midhope Castle, instantly recognisable to Outlander fans as Lallybroch, the cherished home of Jamie Fraser. This 16th-century tower house exudes the charm and history of Scotland's past, making it a favourite among visitors. We will have around 30 minutes to explore the grounds, take photographs, and capture the essence of this iconic location.

    3. Falkland

      Our next stop is the charming village of Falkland, best known to Outlander fans as the filming location for the fictional 1940s Inverness. With its picturesque streets and historic buildings, Falkland offers a unique step back in time. We will spend around 1 hour and 15 minutes here, allowing you to explore and enjoy the village at a leisurely pace. You’ll also have the opportunity to grab a bite to eat at one of the local cafés or restaurants, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing break. If you happen to bring your own lunch, you’ll have enough time to visit Falkland Palace on your own, though please note that the palace is closed during the winter months and there is an additional entrance fee to visit. During our visit, your guide will also point out the Bruce Fountain and other Outlander points of interest, ensuring you don’t miss the key highlights.

      75 minutes here

    4. Doune Castle

      Our next stop is the impressive Doune Castle, a must-see for film and history enthusiasts. We will spend an hour here, beginning with a 15-minute presentation from your guide to introduce the castle’s history and key details. The remaining 45 minutes are yours to explore at your own pace using the audio guides, included in the entrance fee. Doune Castle is famously featured in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, as Winterfell in the Game of Thrones pilot, and as Castle Leoch, seat of Clan MacKenzie, in Outlander. Please note that the castle is not suitable for visitors using mobility aids due to steep steps and narrow pathways. However, you can enjoy views of the exterior and relax in the courtyard. This stop offers a unique opportunity to step into the world of these iconic series and explore one of Scotland’s most recognisable castles.

      60 minutes here · Admission not included

    5. Culross

      Our final stop is the picturesque village of Culross, where we’ll spend 30 minutes exploring its historic charm. This guided visit includes a stop at the iconic Mercat Cross, a symbol of the village’s trading past, and a walk behind Culross Palace to see the beautiful Hanging Garden. From here, you'll enjoy a wonderful view over the River Forth, capturing the essence of this well-preserved 17th-century village. Known for its cobbled streets and distinctive mustard-coloured houses, Culross offers a glimpse into the past and has been featured in Outlander as the fictional town of Cranesmuir. This stop provides a perfect ending to our tour, blending history, scenery, and storytelling.

    Avoid This Tour Operator!

    Tour company NEVER SHOWED UP at pickup point. No communication from them after we email, what’s app and called. Very disappointing as we flew into Glasgow a day early JUST to do this day trip!

    Disappointed

    Outlander Day Tour from Glasgow: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Glasgow.

    How much does Outlander Day Tour from Glasgow cost?

    +

    Prices start at $103 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Glasgow usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Outlander Day Tour from Glasgow take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Glasgow is not rushed.

    Is Outlander Day Tour from Glasgow worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Glasgow, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Outlander Day Tour from Glasgow?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Outlander Day Tour from Glasgow suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Outlander Day Tour from Glasgow?

    +

    Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Glasgow can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Glasgow and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Outlander Day Tour from Glasgow start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Glasgow within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Glasgow?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Glasgow experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Glasgow: Celtic Park Tour & Dine Package, Gander Walking Tours in Glasgow, Glasgow: The Clydeside Distillery Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Glasgow?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Glasgow?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Outlander Day Tour from Glasgow?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Pickup and drop-off from designated meeting points; and Driver/guide. Not included: Food and drinks; Hotel drop-off; Hotel pickup; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Outlander Day Tour from Glasgow?

    +

    We will meet across the road from Costa Coffee on George Square, the designated starting point for your tour. Please note that there is no shelter at this location. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Outlander Day Tour from Glasgow offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Portuguese, Japanese, English, Italian, French, Dutch and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Outlander Day Tour from Glasgow?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Outlander Day Tour from Glasgow wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Outlander Day Tour from Glasgow if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Glasgow. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
