What To Expect
Midhope Castle
Midhope Castle is your next highlight. Unfortunately, visitors are unable to go inside the castle, but Jamie’s lovely Lallybroch home is still an essential photo opportunity for any fan of the show. Jamie’s family home, Lallybroch, is as lovely as it looks in the show.
Blackness Castle
Blackness Castle entrance included in tour price. The tough-looking castle looks like it could fend off an entire empire. And in Outlander, it impersonates Fort William.

5.00While a fan of the Outlander books, I have not seen most of the series. I took the tour because it stopped at several locations I wanted to visit. I was concerned that I would be the oddball person out. So not true. Our guide was amazing and personable, he kept everyone engaged and while he share Outlander tips and info, it was not overwhelming. I would recommend this tour even if you are not a number 10 die hard fan.

5.00Shay was an excellent tour guide. She has a passion for Outlander that is unmatched! Her personal photos from the series matched the structures we visited. During the drive she showed points of interest and shared additional info on the series. I can’t imagine a better tour guide for this topic!
