First, discover the picturesque village of Falkland, famously known as 1940s Inverness in Outlander. Admire its quaint cobbled lanes, 17th-century architecture, and the Bruce Fountain, where Frank first spotted Jamie’s ghost.

We then visit Doune Castle, or Castle Leoch to Outlander fans, a striking 14th-century fortress with ties to other productions like Game of Thrones and Monty Python. Next, delve into the grand French-style Callendar House in Falkirk, featured in Outlanderas the Duke of Sandringham’s kitchen.

Our journey continues to Midhope Castle -Jamie Fraser’s beloved Lallybroch- where you can walk the grounds and capture memorable photos. It’s not possible to visit Midhope; another exciting option will be arranged.

Our last visit of the day is to Hopetoun House, a masterpiece of Scottish baroque architecture that serves as the Duke of Sandringham’s lavish home. Oozing aristocratic grandeur, its expansive estate and ornate interiors are bound to impress.
