Itinerary

On this tour we visit two locations used extensively for filming the hit series Outlander, Outlander tour to Lallybroch ,

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

  • Lallybroch - Midhope Castle
  • The first location on this Outlander tour is Lallybroch - Midhope Castle, ancestral home of Jamie Fraser . Outlander scenes were shot at Midhope Castle on the fringes of 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.

    Visitors can admire Midhope from a distance as the interior is inaccessible .

    Midhope Castle, a 16th-century tower house, is used as Lallybroch (also known as Broch Tuarach) in Outlander . Left to Jamie by his parents, Brian and Ellen, Lallybroch is also home to Jamie’s sister, Jenny, her husband Ian Murray and their children. With Lallybroch being an important part of the Outlander story, much use is made of Midhope Castle.

    Lallybroch Castle tours can be booked online .

    We offer tours with the option of choosing your own itinerary . Phone +447305-294773 or Whatsapp +447305294773 for booking or contact us online .

    2 . Hopetoun House, South Queensferry

    Hopetoun House and its grounds provided a number of filming locations for Outlander . The back of the grand house was used as the Duke of Sandringham’s home (with scenes also filmed in the Red Drawing Room) in season 1. The courtyards provided the backdrop for the Parisian streets of season 2 as well as the Helwater stables in season 3. The front of the house was Ellesmere Manor in season 3.
