Description

Embark on a captivating Outlander Tour and journey through the mystical landscapes of Scotland. Immerse yourself in the rich history and romance of the hit TV series, visiting iconic filming locations
Inverness, the gateway to the Highlands, holds a special place in the hearts of Outlander fans as it is steeped in both history and romance, much like the beloved series itself. While not all Outlander scenes were filmed in Inverness, the city serves as a central point for exploring nearby locations that are deeply connected to the show.

One of the most iconic locations associated with Inverness in Outlander is of course, the fictional Craigh na Dun. While the actual standing stones used in the series are a set located in a field near Pitlochry in Perthshire, fans often visit Clava Cairns just outside Inverness to experience a similar mystical atmosphere. These ancient standing stones date back over 4,000 years and are said to have inspired the fictional Craigh na Dun where Claire is transported back in time.

As you wander through the historic streets of Inverness, you can imagine Claire and Jamie walking along the same paths, perhaps passing by the Old High Church, the Inverness Cathedral, and the Inverness Castle. Although the Inverness Castle itself is not the same one featured in the series (the actual castle seen is in the town of Doune), its imposing presence overlooking the River Ness is still a sight to behold.

For those looking to indulge in the charm of Outlander, a visit to the Culloden Battlefield is a must. Just a short drive from Inverness, this historic site marks the location of the final confrontation between the Jacobite army led by Bonnie Prince Charlie and the British government forces in 1746. Fans of the series will recognize Culloden as the setting for the heartbreaking battle scenes depicted in Outlander.

Exploring the nearby countryside from Inverness, you can discover more Outlander filming locations such as the picturesque village of Beauly, where the fictional monastery of Saint Anne de Beaupré was portrayed. With its quaint streets and historic attractions, Beauly offers a glimpse into the architecture and atmosphere of the 18th century Scotland depicted in Outlander.

As you venture further afield, don't miss the chance to visit the stunning Highland landscapes that serve as the backdrop for many of Outlander's outdoor scenes. From the rugged beauty of the Black Isle to the mysterious depths of Loch Ness, the natural wonders around Inverness transport visitors to the untamed Scottish wilderness that Claire and Jamie traverse in their adventures.

Inverness may not be the sole filming location for Outlander, but its proximity to key sites and its own historic charm make it an essential stop on any Outlander-inspired journey through Scotland. Whether you're a dedicated fan of the series or simply intrigued by the rich history and breathtaking scenery of the Highlands, Inverness and its surroundings offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of Outlander.
