Outing Highlights
Lallybroch and Castle Leoch
Midhope Castle, used as Lallybroch, and Doune Castle, which doubled as Castle Leoch, are among the tour’s signature stops — instantly recognisable strongholds from the series.
Culross and Falkland
The tour moves through preserved village sets: Culross stood in for Cranesmuir with its cobbled streets and the palace herb garden, while Falkland doubled for 1940s Inverness, complete with the Bruce Fountain and Covenanter Hotel.
Linlithgow and Blackness
Linlithgow Palace appears as Wentworth Prison and Blackness Castle — the 'ship that never sailed' — served as Fort William in the series, offering dramatic stone silhouettes and historic weight.
