What you'll see and do
Midhope Castle
Midhope Castle – Lallybroch Our first destination is one of the most beloved locations in the entire series: Midhope Castle, known to millions as Lallybroch, Jamie Fraser's cherished family home. Standing before the iconic front steps, you'll instantly recognise the setting where Claire found family, friendship, and a place to call home. The peaceful surroundings make it easy to imagine Jamie’s sister, Jenny Fraser, marching across the courtyard, issuing orders while everyone else pretends they're in charge. With plenty of time for photographs, you'll have the opportunity to soak in the atmosphere and feel like you’re a part of one of Outlander's most treasured locations. (This is an exterior visit)

Blackness Castle
Blackness Castle – Fort William From charming village life to imposing military might, our next stop is Blackness Castle, which served as Captain "Black Jack" Randall's garrison headquarters of Fort William Fort William in the series. Jutting dramatically into the Firth of Forth, the fortress earned the nickname "the ship that never sailed" due to its unique shape. Here you'll hear stories of the real castle's turbulent past while revisiting some of the series' most dramatic moments. The views alone are worth the visit, offering breathtaking panoramas across the water and towards the distant Highlands. Thankfully, unlike Jamie Fraser, you'll be free to leave whenever you please.

Linlithgow Palace
Linlithgow Palace – Wentworth Prison Our adventure continues at the magnificent Linlithgow Palace. This grand royal residence provided the exterior setting for Wentworth Prison, one of the most unforgettable locations in the Outlander story. While the palace's real history is considerably more regal than its television role, its dramatic architecture made it the perfect filming location. As the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, it offers a fascinating glimpse into Scotland's royal past alongside its Outlander connections. The impressive ruins and stunning loch-side setting make this a highlight for history lovers and television fans alike. (This is an exterior visit)
60 minutes here · Admission not included
Doune Castle
Doune Castle – Castle Leoch Next, we travel to the magnificent Doune Castle, instantly recognisable as Castle Leoch, home of Clan MacKenzie. As you walk through the great hall and climb the ancient stone staircases, you'll be stepping into one of the most Important locations from the early episodes of the series. This is where Claire first met Colum MacKenzie, where she encountered Geillis Duncan, and where her extraordinary Highland adventure truly began. The castle's remarkably well-preserved interiors make it one of the most immersive Outlander filming locations in Scotland. And yes, for those who know their Scottish film history, this castle has also appeared in a few other famous productions. Scotland does enjoy getting its photograph taken. (This is an exterior visit)
50 minutes here · Admission not included
Culross
Culross – Cranesmuir Our journey continues to the beautifully preserved village of Culross, which doubled as the fictional village of Cranesmuir. With its cobbled streets, whitewashed houses, and centuries- old charm, stepping into Culross feels like travelling through the stones yourself. Fans will immediately recognise the home of Geillis Duncan and many of the village scenes from Season One. As you wander the narrow lanes, you'll discover why filmmakers fel in love with this remarkably untouched corner of Scotland. It's one of those rare places where modern life seems to have politely stepped aside and allowed history to remain centre stage.
40 minutes here
South Queensferry
South Queensferry & the Forth Bridges (time permitting) If time allows, we'll stop in the picturesque town of South Queensferry for spectacular views of the iconic Forth Bridges. This is an ideal opportunity for photographs and to enjoy the charming waterfront setting.

A great day out exploring Scotland!
Had a brilliant day with John from Superb Scotland Tours. Nothing was too much, we felt so comfortable and got so much for our money. John was really friendly and it was a pleasure to spend the day with him.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Edinburgh.
How much does Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $449 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Edinburgh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Edinburgh is not rushed.
Is Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Edinburgh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour?
+
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 Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour?
+
Around 0 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 Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour 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 Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh?
+
On Outty we rank every Edinburgh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Chocolatarium Chocolate Tour Experience in Edinburgh, The Mountebank Comedy Walk of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Old Town: Historical Guided Walking 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 Edinburgh?
+
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 Edinburgh?
+
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 Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour?
+
Included: Flexible Itinerary tailored to your interests; Hotel pick up and drop-off within Edinburgh; Live commentary from a knowledgeable local Scottish guide; Private driver-guide; and Private tour for your group only(1-4 guests). Not included: Optional Entries to attractions (at your own expense needs to pay on site); and Meals. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 171 listed pickup locations in and around Edinburgh. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+

Is Private Outlander Filming Locations Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
