What To Expect
Blackness Castle
Blackness Castle, featured as Fort William in the Outlander series, is our next stop. Upon arrival, your guide will provide a brief history of the castle along with an Outlander demonstration. Afterward, you'll have time to explore the rest of the castle at your own pace, soaking in its rich history and cinematic significance.
Midhope Castle
Midhope Castle, famously known as Lallybroch from Outlander, is a must-visit for any fan of the show. We’ll arrange a scenic "walk down" to the castle, giving you the opportunity to take in the beautiful surroundings and other Outlander points of interest nearby. Please note that Midhope Castle is located on a private working estate, and access may occasionally be restricted due to safety concerns or estate activities beyond our control. Additionally, in respect to local residents, the estate has restricted access to the castle between December and April 2025. While we regret any inconvenience, the tour will continue as planned with visits to other fantastic locations. Thank you for your understanding!

Catriona Is a true Outlander tour expert!

5.00Catriona from Slàinte Scotland Tours really has been doing this tour for over 10 years and is the original Outlander tour guide in Scotland. That was clear from the moment we started our tour. It was really fun hearing the background of how she started out doing the tours, meeting Diana Galbaldon, being an extra in episodes of not just a couple seasons of the Outlander tv show but also the new one, Blood of my Blood. Stopping and visiting the castles that were used in the tv series and getting key information before exploring them made the Outlander fan in me, very happy. My teenage son also really enjoyed visiting try castles and said he enjoyed the tour more than he thought he would because it wasn’t focused on the romance from the books but also on the Scottish history shared by Catriona who is a real expert. A truly enjoyable tour!
Super

5.00The trip was just for us with a bus for 7 people. The tour guide was very nice and told us a lot about the history of Scotland. Since our English skills were not quite as good, the tour guide explained everything calmly and it was no problem to ask if we did not understand anything. A very nice and patient tour guide.
Excellent and recommended
