Private 3 Day Outlander Tour from Glasgow & Edinburgh

Step into the world of Jamie and Claire on our private three-day Outlander tour of Scotland. Guided by James, you’ll visit the real filming locations behind Castle Leoch, Cranesmuir, Fort William and Lallybroch, travel through the dramatic Highland scenery of Loch Lomond, Glencoe and Glenfinnan, and stand among the ancient stones that inspired Craigh na Dun before walking the battlefield of Culloden, where the Jacobite dream came to an end.

As this is a private tour, it’s just you, your group and your guide, travelling in comfort at your own pace. We’ll help with dates, suggest places to stay and arrange any extras, so all you need to do is enjoy the journey.

Your adventure begins with a full day of the most famous filming locations. In the beautifully preserved village of Culross, you’ll walk the cobbled lanes of Cranesmuir, home of Geillis Duncan, where Claire was tried as a witch. Next is the royal burgh of Falkland, which became 1940s Inverness, where Claire and Frank stayed on their second honeymoon in the opening episode.

At Doune Castle, you’ll explore Castle Leoch, the stronghold of Clan MacKenzie, from its courtyard to the great hall where Colum held court. We’ll then visit Blackness Castle, the brooding fortress on the Firth of Forth that plays Fort William, before ending the day at Midhope Castle, Jamie’s beloved Lallybroch. From the 2026 season, visitors can go inside the ground floor for the first time. Tonight, you’ll stay in Glasgow or Edinburgh.

Today, we head north into the Highlands. After a scenic drive along the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, we’ll cross the wild expanse of Rannoch Moor into Glencoe, one of the most spectacular glens in Scotland, where the towering Three Sisters and the story of the 1692 massacre make an unforgettable stop.

Continuing past Ben Nevis, we’ll reach the Glenfinnan Monument, which marks the spot where Bonnie Prince Charlie raised his standard in 1745 to begin the Jacobite Rising. Beside it stands the Glenfinnan Viaduct, famous from the Harry Potter films. We’ll then travel up the Great Glen along the shores of Loch Ness, keeping an eye out for Nessie, to Inverness, where you’ll stay tonight.

On the final day, we’ll visit Clava Cairns, a 4,000-year-old Bronze Age burial site with standing stones that inspired Craigh na Dun, the stone circle where Claire falls through time. Just down the road is Culloden Battlefield, where in 1746 the Jacobite army was defeated in the last pitched battle fought on British soil. Walking among the clan memorial stones is a deeply moving experience for every Outlander fan.

Heading south, we’ll stop at the Highland Folk Museum, an open-air museum of historic Highland buildings, which you’ll recognise as the village where Dougal collected rents in season one. Finally, we’ll enjoy a woodland walk at The Hermitage near Dunkeld to Ossian’s Hall, overlooking the Black Linn Falls, before returning you to Glasgow, Edinburgh or another agreed location.

This is a completely private Outlander tour, so your group travels with its own guide and vehicle, at your own pace. James combines the filming locations with the real history behind the story, from the Jacobite risings to the clans and the Highlands, so you’ll see Scotland as Jamie and Claire knew it. Along the way, there’ll be a dram or two to toast the journey.
