Blackness Castle is where Jamie is brutally flogged by Black Jack Randall and later rescues Claire from his clutches by climbing through the window.

Linlithgow Palace is Wentworth Prison and also the foremost Scottish Palace to Scottish Kings and Queens from the 1400’s to 1603 when James VI became James I of England.
