1.Outlander Film Locations Day Trip from Edinburgh

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,776 reviews · 9 hours 30 minutes (approx.) Our pick

Spend about nine and a half hours with a small group visiting Midhope, Doune, Culross, Falkland, and Blackness. Your English-speaking guide connects Outlander scenes with Scottish history, while optional castle admission lets you choose how much exploring to do.

“Sophie was a terrific driver and even made sure we avoided a “Dukes of Hazard” experience. ;-) She was very informative about what we were going to see, when and for how long, and most importantly, how it was significant to Outlander series and to Scottish history. I thoroughly enjoyed being in a smaller group (16) versus a big bus. It enabled us to get up close parking and not having to have longer stops just because of sheer size of group.”

“This tour was wonderful and our tour guide Willie was excellent. Not only was he a superb driver, but he knew so many details of the history of Scotland which he shared with us. This tour is much more than an “Outlander” tour, it’s a general historical tour of Scotland that has an overall Outlander theme. The music he played in between the stories he told, was related to our location or something he had told us about. Willie made the tour special by stopping in multiple locations for photos (especially in the highlands), adding to the overall experience. The accommodations were comfortable and convenient to the center of town.…”

This tour guide, Jamie, was so talented on showing us the borders, telling the stories behind the scenarios and also talking about Scotland in general. Jamie understood that the heavy raining was kind of interfering with our ability to enjoy the trip so, he improvised and changed a bit the itinerary in order to please us. The scenes were unbelievable beautiful and his mood and genuine interest in amuse us gave the trip a big plus. My son and I really appreciated this…”
