It was a great day .Cara our tour guide was very knowledgeable about facts .She was a great host .
Connor, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and shared Scotland’s history between stops. He’s a terrific storyteller. He was also easy-going and very helpful with any questions. Our trip was terrific. It was a small bus and was not filled to capacity so we had plenty of room. He kept us on track and we had plenty of time at each stop. The outlander locations were great. We especially liked the castles that we could enter and walk-through.

Full description
Set out from Edinburgh early in the morning for a journey to some of the most famous locations from the series. Relive some of your favorite moments from the show as you gain insight into the history of each location from your local guide.
Next, travel to Doune Castle, or Castle Leoch, which was also featured as Winterfell in "Game of Thrones" and as the castle in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". You have the option of entering the castle, or you can simply admire it from the outside.
Next, travel to the ancient Kingdom of Fife, an area of great historical importance. Make a stop in Culross, where Claire was accused of witchcraft in the village of Cranesmuir. Admire one of the most complete examples of a typical 17th and 18th-century burgh that remains in Scotland today.
For your penultimate stop, head to the charming village of Falkland, which was used as the filming location for 1940s Inverness. Admire some of the 28 listed buildings, which indicates their national historic and architectural significance.
