Based on the best selling novels by Diana Gabaldon, Outlander is filmed in a number of locations in castles and towns in  central Scotland.

1  Midhope Castle – Lallybroch Lallybroch is the ancestral home of Jamie Fraser , filmed at 15th century Midhope Castle .

Scenes were shot at Midhope Castle near the Hopetoun Estate near South Queensferry. Midhope was built in the 15th Century and was built by John Martyne, laird of Medhope. It was rebuilt in the mid 1600s and remains much the same today. For years I have had to tell customers that you can’t actually go inside Lallybroch . That has all changed in 2026 – the  amazing news this year is that the refurbishment has started and you can now go inside Lallybroch , for the first time ever , making this tour a unique experience . Plans to redevelop Midhope include accommodation and tasting rooms for the new Midhope castle whisky . Visitors can now go inside Lallybroch for the first time ever . In the near future fans will also be able to stay in Lallybroch .

2 . Blackness Castle goes back to 1440 . The castle provides the setting for Fort William, as the original fort no longer exists. The castle is long and narrow because of the shape of the rock on which it is situated and it is sometimes called ‘ the ship that never sailed ‘ . It guards the bay at Blackness and is only a few miles from Linlithgow Palace . The first castle was built in the middle of the 15th century by Sir George Crichton , Earl of Caithness , a member of one of the most powerful families in Scotland . King James II acquired Blackness in 1453 when he annexed the lands of the Crichtons . From then on the castle was mainly used as a prison . In 1543 Cardinal Beaton was held here for a month . Rebuilding started in the 1530s under the direction of Sir James Hamilton of Finnart who also worked at Linlithgow Palace and Stirling Castle . He was instructed to make the castle safe from artillery , and he achieved this by making the south and east walls very thick . A new tower was built at the south end . In the 1560s , in the reign of Mary Queen of Scots , a Spur was built to protect the main gate . In the 1870s the castle was the main ammunition depot for Scotland .The Castle is a popular location for historical re-enactments and has changed little in 600 years . Doune is one of the best preserved medieval castles in Scotland.

3 .  Linlithgow Palace  ( Wentworth prison ) This royal pleasure palace and birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots became the backdrop for some of the most harrowing scenes of the show. Depicted as Wentworth Prison, the prison corridors and entrance were used in episode 15 of the first series when Jamie Fraser was brutally incarcerated by his adversary, Black Jack Randall. Built in the 1400s and 1500s, the now-ruined palace is set among the spectacular surrounds of Linlithgow Loch and Peel. Outlander Castle tours can be booked on +447305-294773 .

1. Doune Castle ( Castle Leoch )

Originally dating to the 13th Century, Doune Castle near Stirling was Castle Leoch and a favourite place for Mary Queen of Scots . Doune Castle featured in the fist ever episode of Outlander and appears in a number of episodes of Outlander Blood of my Blood

Doune Castle has five claims to movie fame –

• Outlander – Doune was Castle Leoch , and it appears twice in the first episode – in the 20th century episode when Claire and Frank Randall visit the castle on a day trip and in 1745 when Jamie saves Claire from Black Jack Randall .
• Game of Thrones  – Doune represented the castle Winterfell in Game of Thrones.
• Monty Python and the Holy Grail
• Outlaw King
• Mary Queen of Scots

Once a Royal residence, Doune Castle was rebuilt by Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany in the late 14th Century.
