Follow in the footsteps of your favorite Outlander characters on this private Outlander, Palaces & Jacobites Adventure. Departing from Edinburgh in the morning, travel across the Firth of Forth towards the Tuilyies Standing Stones, reminiscent of the magical stones that marked time travel in the series. Pause here to immerse yourself in the mystical atmosphere, imagining the adventures of Claire and Jamie.
Next, visit the Royal Burgh of Culross, an authentic 17th-century village that fans of the show will recognize as Cranesmuir Village and the location of Claire’s herb garden. Take in the charming cobbled streets, and feel as though you've stepped back in time.
The journey continues to Doune Castle, known to Outlander fans as Castle Leoch, the seat of Clan MacKenzie. The medieval castle has also been featured in Game of Thrones and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. You'll have the option to tour the castle’s fascinating halls (entrance not included). As you head south, pass the imposing Stirling Castle, a key historical site in Scotland's past, which can be explored on other Timberbush tours.
Afterward, stop in Linlithgow, where you’ll have time for lunch (not included) and the opportunity to visit Linlithgow Palace. This grand palace served as the backdrop for Wentworth Prison in Outlander, and its beautiful grounds make for stunning photos.
The next stop takes you to Blackness Castle, used as Fort William in the show and known for its unique triangular shape jutting out into the Forth. Take a moment to enjoy the panoramic views and feel the chilling presence of Black Jack Randall.
Finally, depending on the season, visit Midhope Castle, also known as Lallybroch, Jamie Fraser’s family home. Spend time here snapping photos and embracing the spirit of the Fraser clan. Should Midhope Castle be closed for filming or if your tour is in the winter months, visit the Forth Bridges, showcasing three centuries of Scottish engineering.
Return to Edinburgh in the evening, where you can continue your adventure by exploring the city or relaxing after your magical Outlander experience.
