Linlithgow Palace | Wentworth Prision

Linlithgow Palace, was used to represent the infamous Wentworth Prison. It is here that Jamie is tortured and raped by Captain ‘Black Jack’ Randall.

A favoured residence of the Stewart kings and queens from James I onward.

The great hall and chapel are particularly fine. James V (1512) and Mary Queen of Scots (1542) were both born here.

Blackness Castle | Fort William

The 15th century fortress of Blackness Castle which doubles as the setting for the Fort William headquarters of Black Jack Randall and the heart-wrenching scene of Jamie’s incarceration.

One of Scotland’s most impressive strongholds, Blackness Castle was built in the 15th century by one of Scotland’s most powerful families, the Crichtons.

Blackness Castle is often referred to as ‘the ship that never sailed’ due to its great stone ship appearance.

From the castle you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Firth of Forth and Fife.

Hopetoun House | Lallybroch

One of the finest examples of Scotland’s grand architecture, the splendid Hopetoun House, on the outskirts of Edinburgh, doubled as the stately home of the Duke of Sandringham in season one.

Provided the backdrop for Parisian streets, the spare room in Jamie and Claire’s Paris apartment, and the Hawkins Estate in season two and Ellesmere and the stables at Helwater in season three.

Interesting fact: in real life the house is vast compared to how it appears in the TV show, as some of its wings were digitally erased.

Access can sometimes be gained to Lallybroch Midhope Castle too for photos, this is subject to the day and not guaranteed.

  • Mobility: Medium
Royal Burgh of Culross | Cranesmuir

Next we make our way to the filming location of The Royal Burgh of Culross, a town that time has passed by, which lies on the banks of the River Forth and was the location for the fictional village of Cranesmuir.

The town centre dates back to the 16th Century and it is at Culross Palace that you will find Claire’s herb garden and many of the buildings that star in the show.

It is the most complete example in Scotland today of a Burgh of the 17th & 18th centuries.

Doune Castle | Castle Leoch

Leaving Culross now travel to Castle Leoch, home to the fictional Colum MacKenzie and the MacKenzie clan, in the beautiful little town of Doune.

Doune Castle was built around 1400 by Robert Stewart, 1st Duke of Albany, Earl of Menteith and Fife, a magnificent late 14th century courtyard castle.

It plays a leading role in the show standing in for the fictional Castle Leoch, home to Colum MacKenzie and his clan in the 18th century episodes.

Its most striking feature is the 100ft high gatehouse which includes the splendid Lord’s Hall with its musicians’ gallery, double fireplace and carved oak screen.

You can hear the stories of the making of Monty Python and the Holy Grail which was also filmed at the castle.

Glasgow University | Harvard University

Filming took place at the University of Glasgow during the summer of 2016, then later in the winter. It was used for scenes involving Harvard University, where Frank worked as a Professor.

The University of Glasgow is one of the world’s oldest universities, dating back to its founding in 1451. It is the fourth oldest university in the English-speaking world.

Located in the west end of Glasgow it is surrounded by many inviting attractions, including nearby art galleries, parks and lovely tree-lined streets.
