Explore Highland destinations featured in Outlander, or arrange a bespoke private tour to visit the series’ most iconic filming locations.
Outlander Tours from Edinburgh & Glasgow
Outlander has brought Scotland’s dramatic landscapes, castles and historic towns to screens around the world. From Highland glens to medieval fortresses, many of these Outlander filming locations Scotland fans recognise can still be explored today.
Our Outlander guide brings together essential travel insight, iconic filming sites and the private touring options available for those wishing to experience these locations in person — from Doune Castle (Castle Leoch) to Falkland, which stood in for 1940s Inverness.
While some Outlander locations feature within our wider Highland itineraries, dedicated Outlander experiences are offered as bespoke private tours. This allows you to focus on the settings that matter most — whether that’s clan strongholds, royal palaces or sweeping Highland scenery.
Each private journey is tailored around your interests and pace, combining filming locations with Scotland’s history and landscapes to create a memorable and immersive experience.
Discover Outlander's Scotland
Doune Castle (Castle Leoch)
One of the most recognisable Outlander filming locations, Doune Castle stands in for Castle Leoch, the ancestral home of Clan MacKenzie. Its well-preserved 14th-century architecture and imposing great hall provide the atmospheric backdrop for many of the series’ early episodes.
Located near Stirling, Doune Castle also features on several of our wider Highland itineraries, allowing visitors to explore this iconic site as part of a broader journey.
Falkland (1940s Inverness)
The charming village of Falkland in Fife doubles as 1940s Inverness in the opening episodes of Outlander. Its historic square, fountain and period façades create a convincing mid-20th-century setting.
Visitors can explore Falkland Palace and wander the cobbled streets that featured prominently in the series.
Glencoe (Opening Credits Landscape)
Glencoe’s dramatic mountains and sweeping glens appear in the show’s iconic opening sequence. The rugged beauty of the landscape perfectly captures the wild spirit of the Highlands.
Several of our Highland tours include time in Glencoe, where visitors can experience the scenery that helped define Outlander’s atmosphere.
Midhope Castle (Lallybroch)
Midhope Castle serves as Lallybroch, Jamie Fraser’s ancestral home. Although the interior scenes were filmed elsewhere, the exterior of this 16th-century tower house remains instantly recognisable to fans.
Access is sometimes limited depending on estate permissions, but it remains one of the most sought-after Outlander locations.
