3 Drummond Castle gardens

This castle is one of the most visually stunning locations of all: Drummond Castle.

“Drummond Castle Gardens date back to 1630, are considered ‘the best example of formal terraced gardens in Scotland’ and some say in Europe.”

These breathtaking grounds doubled as the Palace of Versailles during Claire and Jamie’s time in France.

Drummond Castle gardens, the Palace of Versailles Outlander

“The castle was used as the setting for a garden party at the Palace of Versailles in an episode of TV drama Outlander.”

In 2024 French fashion house Dior returned to Scotland for its first catwalk show in the country in almost seven decades. Dior took inspiration from Scottish history for the show in the gardens of Drummond Castle near Crieff in Perthshire, as celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence, Rosamund Pike and Anya Taylor-Joy watched on.

4 Craigh na Dun

On the south side of the Dunalastair Reservoir in Tay Forest Park under the gaze of  Schiehallion mountain, this is scenic Highlands at its best. You will recognise the mound from the roadside and it’s just a short walk out to the site. Kinnloch Rannoch was used in numerous other scenes , mainly because it’s one of the most remote and beautiful areas in the country. The standing stones in the TV series are set up for filming , but they are not there permanently .  The mystical and enchanting spot where Claire and Frank first come across the standing stones that soon after were to propel Claire back in time. They have been an ever present since, including in Season four .

Craigh na Dun features in the final episode of season 8 .

No standing stones actually exist here.
