Private Itinerary
Your private day begins with a collection from your accommodation in Edinburgh. As you head west into the dramatic landscapes of the Scottish Borders and the Highlands, your expert guide will fill the journey with stories of history, legend and the world of Outlander — from real-life events to the places that brought Diana Gabaldon’s novels and the hit TV series to life.
Blackness Castle
Your first stop is the striking fortress of Blackness Castle, perched on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth. Known to Outlander fans as Fort William, this dramatic stronghold has stood watch over the water for centuries. Wander the battlements, explore its atmospheric interiors and take in sweeping views across the estuary.
Abercorn Church & Hopetoun House
Next, you’ll visit Abercorn Church, its evocative ruins familiar to fans from show scenes steeped in emotion and intrigue. From here, continue to the elegant Hopetoun House, standing proudly on its hilltop estate. With its grand staircases and stately rooms, this historic house provides the perfect backdrop for scenes of high drama.
Linlithgow Palace
From the west of Edinburgh, you’ll make your way to the spectacular ruins of Linlithgow Palace, birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots and one of Scotland’s most evocative medieval sites. Here, you can walk the corridors and courtyards where royal history unfolded — and where portions of Outlander’s saga were brought to screen.
Enjoy time here to explore at your own pace, grab a coffee in the nearby town, or simply take in the magnificent views over the loch.
Flexible Return
After a day of castles, history and scenic Highland-border landscapes, relax on the return journey to Edinburgh. Arrive back at your accommodation in the early evening, with memories of a uniquely personalised Outlander experience.
