About this activity

Our fantastic private guided Outlander tour is a fantastic way to explore many of the on-location castles that were used in Scotland for hit TV show Outlander.

Your friendly and knowledgeable driver guide will take you on a journey of Outlander discovery exploring many sights onboard your private Mercedes Minivan. Hear the stories that make these locations famous both in Outlander, other film and TV appearances and in Scottish history. Many of the locations are within easy reach of Edinburgh. As well as seeing all of the local Outlander locations, we'll also have time visit the impressive Forth Bridges and pass the Kelpies and Stirling Castle to name a few the other sights.

Our vehicles are the perfect size to squeeze down the country lanes that many of the locations are found whilst still being spacious and comfortable for up to 6 guests.
