Falkland

Our next stop is the charming village of Falkland, best known to Outlander fans as the filming location for the fictional 1940s Inverness. With its picturesque streets and historic buildings, Falkland offers a unique step back in time. We will spend around 1 hour and 15 minutes here, allowing you to explore and enjoy the village at a leisurely pace. You’ll also have the opportunity to grab a bite to eat at one of the local cafés or restaurants, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing break. If you happen to bring your own lunch, you’ll have enough time to visit Falkland Palace on your own, though please note that the palace is closed during the winter months and there is an additional entrance fee to visit. During our visit, your guide will also point out the Bruce Fountain and other Outlander points of interest, ensuring you don’t miss the key highlights.

Doune Castle

Our next stop is the impressive Doune Castle, a must-see for film and history enthusiasts. We will spend an hour here, beginning with a 15-minute presentation from your guide to introduce the castle’s history and key details.

Doune Castle is famously featured in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, as Winterfell in the Game of Thrones pilot, and as Castle Leoch, seat of Clan MacKenzie, in Outlander. Please note that the castle is not suitable for visitors using mobility aids due to steep steps and narrow pathways. However, you can enjoy views of the exterior and relax in the courtyard. This stop offers a unique opportunity to step into the world of these iconic series and explore one of Scotland’s most recognisable castles.

From here, you'll enjoy a wonderful view over the River Forth, capturing the essence of this well-preserved 17th-century village. Known for its cobbled streets and distinctive mustard-coloured houses, Culross offers a glimpse into the past and has been featured in Outlander as the fictional town of Cranesmuir. This stop provides a perfect ending to our tour, blending history, scenery, and storytelling.
