Outlander Adventure: Doune Castle, Culross Palace & Jacobite Sites

Step inside the real locations of the global Outlander phenomenon — from Doune Castle (Castle Leoch) to the perfectly preserved 16th-century burgh of Culross — with a guide who knows every cobblestone and storyline. Pure bucket-list magic for fans and history lovers alike.

What to expect

Your luxury coach departs from the cruise terminal and heads west into Stirlingshire. Doune Castle's soaring medieval walls — the real-life 'Castle Leoch' — are explored with an expert who bridges the 18th-century Jacobite uprising and the drama of the TV series. Next, the golden ochre walls of Culross Palace emerge from the Firth of Forth shoreline, a hauntingly intact Renaissance burgh. The day balances cinematic thrills with genuine Scottish history, leaving you with an entirely new understanding of this remarkable landscape.
