Edinburgh - Culross - Inverness. Today we embark on an Outlander-themed journey from Edinburgh. Our first stop is Midhope Castle, Jamie's beloved Lallybroch. While the castle's interior is recreated in studios, we can sit on the iconic steps and await a glimpse of the characters passing through the archway.
Heading north, we visit the village of Culross, doubling as the fictional Cranesmuir. Wander its cobbled streets, taking a step back in time whilst exploring Culross Palace. In Falkland, we relive the show's early scenes set in 1940s Inverness, spotting familiar sights like Mrs Baird’s Guesthouses and the Bruce Fountain.
Leaving behind castles and villages, we journey through the Highlands. At the Newtonmore Highland Folk Museum, we explore replicas of 18th-century Highland crofts, reminiscent of MacKenzie clan villages in the series. Continuing north, we reach Inverness by early evening.

Next, we visit the Culloden Battlefield, significant in Scottish history and the Outlander series, where Jamie bid farewell before joining the Jacobite army, leading to the end of the Highland way of life.

Our journey then leads through the Great Glen to Glenfinnan, where a monument commemorates Bonnie Prince Charlie's fateful encounter that began the Jacobite Rising. Framed by Loch Shiel and the iconic Jacobite Steam Train railway line, this site captivates with its history and beauty.
