1. Our first stop is the picturesque village of Culross, transformed into Cranesmuir in the series. This well-preserved 17th-century Royal Burgh was once a thriving centre of trade, and its cobbled streets and white-harled buildings feel frozen in time. Visit the Mercat Cross, a key backdrop to Geillis Duncan’s most dramatic moments, or explore Culross Palace (£) for a glimpse into Scotland’s merchant past.

   1 Std.

2. Optional Visit during our time here. Entrance fee is around £6GBP

   30 Min.

3. Next, we visit Doune Castle, better known as Castle Leoch, the seat of Clan MacKenzie. Built in the 14th century for Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, this fortress played a crucial role in Scotland’s medieval power struggles. Beyond Outlander, it has appeared in Game of Thrones and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. We highly recommend the audio guide (£), featuring Sam Heughan’s narration for behind-the-scenes insights. Entrance fee is £10GBP

   1,3 Std.

4. After a lunch break, we continue to Blackness Castle (£), known as the ‘Ship That Never Sailed’ due to its striking shape. Built in the 15th century as a noble residence for the Crichton family, it later became a key military stronghold and prison. In Outlander, it stood in for Fort William, where Jamie Fraser endured his darkest moments. Entrance fee is £8GBP

   1,3 Std.

5. Our final stop is Midhope Castle, better known as Lallybroch, Jamie Fraser’s cherished family home. This 16th-century tower house, part of the Hopetoun Estate, offers a timeless, atmospheric glimpse into Scotland’s clan heritage. Entrance fee is £8GBP. *Please note, site access is subject to availability (£).

About Edinburgh

Edinburgh, Schottlands Hauptstadt auf Vulkanhügeln: Burg auf dem Felsen, mittelalterliche Altstadt und elegante georgianische Neustadt.

Edinburgh Castle krönt den Castle Rock und bewahrt die Honours of Scotland, die schottischen Kronjuwelen. Von dort führt die Royal Mile bergab durch die Altstadt, vorbei an der St Giles' Cathedral und einem Gewirr enger Closes, zum Palace of Holyroodhouse und zum Schottischen Parlament. Arthur's Seat, ein uralter Vulkan, erhebt sich mit weiten Ausblicken über dem Palast.
