3. Glencoe

Wild, mountainous and constantly changing with the weather, Glencoe captures the Scotland many overseas Outlander fans dream about. Low clouds, mist and dramatic sunlight can actually improve your photographs rather than ruin them. Glencoe features in the opening sequence of early seasons of Outlander

4. Kinloch Rannoch – Craigh na Dun

The standing stones were only created for filming, but the landscape is real. The hill near Kinloch Rannoch associated with Craigh na Dun offers wonderful views across Highland countryside. For fans, few locations have greater emotional significance.

5. Linlithgow Palace – Wentworth Prison

Despite its dark Outlander storyline, Linlithgow Palace is incredibly photogenic. Climb to the top of this ruined Renaissance palace for panoramic views of Linlithgow Loch, providing opportunities for architectural details, reflections and wide landscapes. The Palace was also the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots

The ultimate Outlander photograph?

For Highland scenery, Glencoe wins. For stunning gardens , choose Drummond Castle. But for sheer emotional impact, Midhope Castle takes the number-one spot. Standing in front of Lallybroch with a camera is about as close as an Outlander fan can get to stepping directly into Jamie and Claire’s world.
