Doune Castle – Castle Leoch Outlander filming

Doune Castle is instantly recognisable to Outlander fans as Castle Leoch, the seat of Clan Mackenzie. As we note on our site, “Doune Castle has been a key location for Outlander filming as it features as Castle Leoch, home of the Clan Mackenzie.” It has featured heavily in season one of Outlander Blood of my Blood and it will also feature in season two, currently being filmed in Scotland. We will bring you photos of the live film sets from next week

Built in the early 1400s, this medieval stronghold has over 600 years of history. Its mighty walls, great hall, and atmospheric courtyards provide the perfect backdrop for the Jacobite storylines. It’s no surprise the producers chose Doune as one of the show’s most important settings.

Filming for Outlander Season 8 took place at Doune Castle last year , and during our live tour you may even glimpse set preparations or filming activity for the prequel Blood of my Blood . As our website highlights, “filming took place in January last year at Doune Castle – Castle Leoch.” and it returns this month

Culross – Cranesmuir Outlander filming

Our tour also takes you to the historic town of Culross, which doubles as Cranesmuir in Outlander. This beautifully preserved 17th-century village feels like stepping back in time. Cobbled streets, colourful facades, and the impressive Culross Palace make it one of Scotland’s most photogenic locations.

As described on our website, “Visitors can stroll through the town square, visit the impressive Culross Palace, and even imagine themselves as part of the Outlander story.” The square in Culross features in several key scenes, including where Geillis Duncan lived.

Filming for the second season of Outlander Blood of my Blood is set to return here , meaning your visit may coincide with Outlander production crews at work — a rare chance to experience both the authentic history of Culross and its transformation into Cranesmuir. For more details and bookings WhatsApp +447305294773 .

Customers also visit Lallybroch , the ancestral home of Jamie Fraser, on this live tour of Outlander locations

Where was the Blood of my Blood shot ?

Outlander Blood of my Blood season 1 was shot entirely in Scotland in a number of castles . Doune castle / Castle Leoch , the home of the Clan Mackenzie features a lot in the first three episodes. Castle Leathers is the home of Simon Fraser and his bastard son Brian . Balvaird Castle in Perthshire was the location for Castle Leathers. Our Outlander Blood of my Blood tours are perfect for fans looking to visit the filming location for this Outlander prequel . Season 2 is being filmed in Scotland at the moment

Where is Castle Leathers in Blood of My Blood ?

Castle Leathers is the home of the villainous Lord Simon Fraser and his bastard son Brian in the Outlander prequel, Blood of My Blood. Balvaird Castle , a striking 15th-century tower house in Perthshire, is the real life location of Castle Leathers in Outlander . Balvaird was once the seat of the powerful Murray family. Balvaird Castle was likely built in the late 1400s, with significant additions made in the 1500s. Most tower houses from this period stand alone in their surroundings, but at Balvaird the visitor can see it in a fuller context. The four-storey tower itself is an impressive fortress and the castle features heavily in the first four episodes. Julia Beauchamp gives birth to her son in the castle after convincing Lord Fraser that the baby is his .
Balvaird Castle has not featured in any episodes of the original Outlander TV series
