What To Expect
Falkland
We arrive in the impeccably preserved village of Falkland, renowned for its portrayal of 1940s Inverness in Outlander. Wander through its charming cobbled streets, take in the stunning 17th-century buildings, and stop by the iconic Bruce Fountain, where Frank first encountered Jamie’s ghost. Falkland seamlessly blends cinematic magic with deep historical significance.
Doune Castle
Doune Castle, known to Outlander fans as Castle Loech, the residence of Clan MacKenzie, is a remarkable example of 14th-century Scottish architecture, offering a glimpse into Scotland’s rich history. This iconic landmark has also featured in Game of Thrones and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Visitors can wander through the grand hall, ascend the towers, and take in breathtaking views of the River Teith from the castle's ramparts.

5.00Alnwick is particular but everything was fantastic, including an unscheduled stop at Bamburgh Castle on the way back . Special mention for Brodie our driver and guide. He was extremely entertaining and knowledgeable and without him do not think the tour would have been as good.
Incredible Day

5.00The tour guide was pleasant and humorous! Melrose Abbey is beautiful, even in it’s current state. Alnwick Castle is an incredible fortress! This tour is highly recommended! Thanks for a wonderful day, Maj!
Glad we made it.

5.00Very enjoyable tour. Lots to see. Guide was interesting and informative. Just never enough time to see it all. I would do it again, if I could

4.00Alnwick is a big, impressive castle and will take you a few hours to see it all. Harry Potter fans will recognize the courtyard and have fun taking selfies. Our tour guide was an encyclopedia of Scottish history but ironically didn't tell us anything about Alnwick Castle or Northumbria. I asked him to take us by Bamburgh Castle on the way back and we were able to get some nice photos of it from the outside too, although we didn't have time to go in. If you have time to spare, I recommend maybe spending the night in Northumbria so you can visit Alnwick, Bamburgh, and Lindisfarne while you're there. Otherwise you spend as much time driving as you do at the castle.
Great tour. The Melrose Abbey is a...

5.00Great tour. The Melrose Abbey is a stunning ruin, I could have stayed for hours, but alas, only 30 minutes. We had several hours at Alnwick Castle. Even in September, the gardens were magnficent. The caslte is lovely. Downton Abbey fans will recognize the state rooms. My disappointment was that the exterior of the castle seemed more like a Hogwarts Lite amusement park. Our guide, Murray was a lot of fun and informative. The stop at the seaside was interesting. Lovely scenery.
