Private 3 Day Outlander Tour from Glasgow & Edinburgh

If Outlander is the reason Scotland made your bucket list, this trip brings it all together: iconic filming locations, the real history behind the story, and the Highland landscapes that make the whole series feel so believable. Our private multi-day Outlander tour of Scotland combines the best-loved screen locations with key historic sites tied to the Jacobites and the Highlands, delivered in a friendly, professional way that keeps the tour engaging without turning it into a lecture.

You'll travel in your own private vehicle with an experienced local guide, so you can explore at a comfortable pace, take the photos you want, and enjoy the "I can't believe I'm actually here" moments without being rushed along by a big group schedule. From Culross and Falkland to Castle Leoch (Doune Castle), Lallybroch (Midhope Castle), Glencoe, Glenfinnan, Culloden, and the standing stones inspiration at Clava Cairns, this tour is built for fans who want the full experience, fact, fiction, and everything in between.

When you're ready to walk through Claire and Jamie's world and understand the Scotland that inspired it, book your Outlander multi-day tour, and we'll help you choose dates, accommodation bases, and any add-ons you'd like to include.

We begin with pick-up from your accommodation and head into some of the most recognisable Outlander filming locations, perfect for getting straight into the story.

We start at Culross (Cranesmuir), a beautifully preserved 17th-century village on the Firth of Forth. You'll have time to wander the cobbled lanes and spot familiar filming areas connected with Cranesmuir, including locations linked to Geillis Duncan and Claire's time in the village. From there we head to Falkland, a charming Royal Burgh in Fife used for the "Inverness" scenes, where you can see the exterior of the hotel where Claire and Frank stayed and the famous town square that fans instantly recognise.

Next is Doune Castle, better known to fans as Castle Leoch, the MacKenzie stronghold on screen. You can explore the courtyard and interiors, and picture the great hall gatherings, clan life, and those early-season moments that hooked so many viewers. From there we visit Blackness Castle, standing in for Fort William, dramatic and windswept on the Firth of Forth, an atmospheric stop with both real history and strong Outlander connections.

We finish the day at Midhope Castle, known to fans as Lallybroch. Its tower house stands in a quiet rural setting on the Hopetoun Estate, iconic, emotional, and a must for photos.

Overnight in Inverness, or a Highland base en route depending on your accommodation plan.

Today is about the scenery that gives Outlander its soul, big landscapes, Highland stories, and a route north that feels like a journey in itself.

We begin with a scenic drive along the lochside roads of Loch Lomond, with a stop for photos and fresh air, a gentle, beautiful introduction to the Highland edge. From there we cross Rannoch Moor, wild, open, and wonderfully empty, one of Scotland's best "window down, camera out" stretches, before reaching Glencoe, one of Scotland's most dramatic glens, shaped by ancient geology and steeped in history. We'll stop at key viewpoints for photos and a clear, accessible explanation of why Glencoe matters so much.

From Glencoe we continue to the Glenfinnan Viaduct and Monument, a cinematic stop with serious historical weight. The viaduct is famous worldwide (Harry Potter fans, you're covered too), while the monument tells the Jacobite story, perfect context for the wider Highland chapters of Outlander. As we approach Inverness we follow the Great Glen and pass Loch Ness. Nessie sightings aren't guaranteed, but we remain optimistic.

Overnight in Inverness.

The final day ties the themes together: the ancient landscape, Jacobite history, and a glimpse into traditional Highland life.

We begin at Clava Cairns, a Bronze Age burial site with standing stones and circular cairns, widely associated with the inspiration for "Craig na Dun." It's a peaceful, atmospheric place to explore, quietly powerful, and very photogenic. From there we visit Culloden Moor, the site of the last major battle fought on British soil and a turning point in Highland history. You'll have time to walk parts of the battlefield and see the clan memorial stones, an important stop for understanding what changed in the Highlands after 1746.

We continue to the Highland Folk Museum, an open-air museum that brings Highland life to life, with historic buildings and recreated township scenes. Outlander fans will recognise it from the rent-collecting scenes in Season 1, but it's fascinating even beyond the filming link. We finish with a short woodland walk at The Hermitage in Dunkeld, a classic Highland beauty spot. The path leads to Ossian's Hall overlooking the Black Linn Falls, an ideal final stop for fresh air and photos before returning south.

Drop-off in Glasgow or Edinburgh, or as agreed.

This is private touring in the truest sense: just your group, your guide, and your own pace. It brings together filming locations and real history, the best of both worlds, clearly explained, alongside the Highland scenery that makes the story feel real, not just a list of sites.
