The interior of Midhope is now open to the public for the first time this year . Exciting new plans have been made to build accommodation inside Lallybroch next year so fans can stay at Lallybroch . A new whisky distillery is also being built next to the castle .

Midhope Castle, a 16th-century tower house, is used as Lallybroch (also known as Broch Tuarach) in Outlander. Left to Jamie by his parents, Lallybroch castle is also home to Jamie’s sister, Jenny, her husband Ian Murray and their children. Lallybroch is a crucial part of Jamie Fraser’s life in Outlander . In Outlander Jamie calls Claire Sassenach as a term of affection .

3 . Craigh na Dun

Craigh na Dun plays a major part in season 7 of Outlander. The question is - who touched the standing stones ?

Finding the exact spot of Craigh na Dun has been difficult but the site of filming is at Kinloch Rannoch in Perthshire. On the south side of the Dunalastair Reservoir in Tay Forest Park under the gaze of the spectacular Schiehallion mountain, this is scenic Highlands at its best. You will recognise the mound and a short walk to the site. Kinnloch Rannoch was used in a number of other scenes , mainly because it’s one of the most remote and beautiful areas in the country.

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 and seven . No standing stones actually exist here but they are inspired by the Clava Cairns and Callanish , both of which are amazing Scottish tourist sites. Even without the presence of the colossal pillars, this spot in Perthshire is a fantastic selection as Craigh na Dun with stunning views of the Perthshire countryside.
