Doune Castle, Glasgow, United Kingdom

Rabbie\'s Small Group Tours

Embark on an immersive journey through Scotland's rich history by visiting three iconic castles and a beautifully preserved village during a guided tour. This experience combines the allure of the popular 'Outlander' television series with the enchanting landscapes of Scotland. Enjoy a comfortable ride in a modern minibus as we explore the historical sites and tales behind this captivating narrative.



Following our departure from Glasgow, we embark upon a guided tour tracing the pivotal film locations featured in the popular television series *Outlander*. Our route leads us past Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument towards Doune Castle, commonly referred to as Castle Leoch within the narrative. Nestled among the rugged landscape, Doune Castle offers a profound perspective into the socio-economic life of a Scottish earl during the 14th century. An informative audio guide accompanies the visit, elucidating its role as a filming site for Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Continuing our journey, we reach Falkland, a quaint town that serves as a backdrop for several key scenes in the series, particularly those set in the mid-20th century. At Mrs Baird's Guesthouses and the Bruce Fountain, viewers can identify recognizable landmarks reminiscent of the period depicted in the show.

Our itinerary then progresses with Midhope Castle, which boasts a meticulously recreated interior designed to reflect the setting of the film. Despite being inaccessible to the public due to safety concerns, the iconic steps leading to Lallybroch offer a captivating vantage point from which to observe potential encounters with Jamie or Claire.

Next up is Blackness Castle, an architectural marvel renowned for its distinctive resemblance to a giant stone vessel. Visitors have the opportunity to traverse the ramparts and explore the fictitious headquarters of Jack Randall.

Lastly, we conclude our exploration with the enchanting charm of Culross, a picturesque town that served as the fictional village of Cranesmuir and the residence of Geillis Duncan and her tragic spouse, Arthur. Careful scrutiny of Culross's cobblestone streets reveals glimpses of Claire's herb garden amidst the historic architecture.

Upon returning to Glasgow in the late afternoon, we complete our tour, having immersed ourselves in a rich tapestry of landscapes and tales that inspired the creation of *Outlander*.
