Outlander Tour of Scotland

Experience Outlander’s Scotland, where legend, history, tragedy and fiction meet.

If you have seen “Outlander” on television, or read the books, this tour is for you. Each day presents the locations, and behind-the-scenes stories from the filming of the series. Experience the places where Jamie & Claire meet and fall in love. With Scotland’s magnificent scenery, history and architecture, it is easy to imagine what it was like in the 1700’s, and feel like you have been swept away, just like Claire. Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Claire & Jamie, and fall in love with Scotland.

p.s. If you are unfamiliar with “Outlander”, the historical context of the drama is the 1740’s, during the Jacobite Risings, and the tour covers, some of Scotland’s most historic sites.
