Visit Midhope Castle, known to Outlander fans as Lallybroch, the home of Jamie. You will explore the land surrounding it, as the castle itself is in ruins, so you will not be able to tour inside.
Return to Edinburgh by your private driver.

Walk with main characters Claire and Jamie (in spirit) as you tour several stunning locations and visit some of the major attractions for the filming of Outlander. Not only will you be experiencing the stunning beauty of Scotland, you will step back in time as you relive the intrigue and drama of scenes from the show.

Your expert driver guide will whisk you into the land of Outlander and provide commentary on each and every stop along the way. Entrance fees into Linlithgow Palace are included in the price of this tour, however, the cost of lunch is not. As you will be spending some time outside, and the weather in Scotland can change quickly, please bring a raincoat with hood as appropriate. Also, be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes. And don’t forget your camera!

Please note: Midhope Castle is a private estate, and occasionally access is denied to visitors outside of our control, usually due to safety concerns of its ruinous condition.
