Outlander Adventure: Jacobite Castles & Filming Locations Day Tour

Walk through the real-world landscapes that inspired and starred in Outlander — ancient castles, Jacobite battlefields, and Highland estates where history and drama collide at every turn.

What to expect

The day weaves through locations synonymous with the Jacobite rising of 1745 — Doune Castle (Castle Leoch), Culross Palace, Blackness Castle, and the wild braes above Stirling. Your guide delivers the true history behind the drama, from the real Flora MacDonald to the aftermath of Culloden. Entry tickets to key sites are included. Groups travel in luxury minivans, with ample time at each location for photography and exploration.
