Day Two
Our journey begins in Inverness, the capital of the highlands. Guests will be picked up from our central meeting point at 9am for introductions and a welcome meeting, where will go over the itinerary and answer any questions you might have. Then, we hit the road in search of filming locations from the series! Our first stop for the day is a Beauly Priory, where Claire met Maisri the Seer in the books. We then venture further into Mackenzie lands where we visit Castle Leod, the current seat of Clan Mackenzie. After lunch, we visit the 4000 year old standing stones which inspired Craig Na Dun. Walk around this amazing and historical site, where the brave may even try their luck by placing a hand on the stones…
Next is Culloden Moor where guests can visit the award winning visitors centre. Here, you can learn more about the battle or simply roam the field itself which played host to the bloody massacre that ended the Highlanders way of life forever. Our final stop for the day is Urquhart castle, an incredible ruin on the shores of Loch Ness where Claire and Frank picnicked on their honeymoon.
Day One
We start our day with a visit to the Highland Folk museum, an incredible outdoor museum with displays of highland life from the 1700’s all the up to the 1950’s. There are over 30 historical buildings onsite including a 1700’s township which was a major filming location in the series. Guests will recognise the thatched dwellings from the Season 1 episode ‘Rent’ where Jamie visits a local village to collect the rent. Our journey then takes us over to Doune castle which is the elaborate ruin that doubles as Castle Leoch. Here we will have plenty of time exploring Mrs Fitz’s kitchen and the Great Hall of Doune (with the option to have an audio guide voiced by Sam Heughan himself) before continuing our journey down south. Our final stop today is the historic town used as the setting for Inverness where you will see the bed and breakfast Claire and Frank stayed in on their honeymoon. Keep an eye out for a ghostly highlander wandering the streets in search of a glimpse of Claire…
Day Three
This morning, we hit the road again as we drive to the quaint historic town of Culross which posed as Cranesmuir, home to Geillis Duncan and scene of the infamous witch trails. The antiquated cobbled streets are also home to the herb garden where Claire and Geillis gathered medicinal herbs and the church used as ‘The Black Kirk,’ where two village boys (one a nephew of Mrs Fitz) were poisoned by Lily of the Valley. Next, a highlight for many on their search for Jamie, a visit to the 15th century castle which featured as Lallybroch - Jamie Fraser’s childhood home. This is our final stop before heading down to Edinburgh, Scotland’s stunning capital.
