Itinerary

Morning
We leave Glasgow and begin to follow the trail of the best-known film locations featured in the Outlander TV Series. The journey takes us through the gentle countryside past Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument before reaching Doune Castle, or as it's called in Outlander, Castle Leoch, the ancestral home of Colum MacKenzie.
Explore the formidable Doune Castle and uncover its origins as the grand residence of one of the most powerful men in 14th-century Scotland. Then imagine Outlander's Claire navigating complex social dynamics during a clan gathering in the Great Hall, or picture scenes from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, where Doune served as a comical backdrop for multiple castle locations in the film. Fans of Game of Thrones will also recognize it as Winterfell from the series' pilot episode. Travelling north through the lush countryside, we head to Falkland. This charming village will steal your heart with cobblestone streets, quaint stone houses, a palace, and great places for lunch.
Afternoon
Outlander fans relive the show's opening scenes in Falkland, which represents 1940s Inverness. Look for familiar sights like Mrs. Baird's Guesthouse and the Bruce Fountain. Next, we visit Midhope Castle, Jamie's beloved home, Lallybroch. Sit on the weathered steps and imagine Jamie or Claire walking through the courtyard archway. Then, it's on to Blackness Castle, known as the ‘ship that never sailed' for its resemblance to a giant stone boat. Here, you can walk along the ramparts and explore the fictional headquarters of Jack Randall. Finally, we head to our final stop, Culross, one of the most charming villages in Scotland.
Evening
Fall in love with Culross, a charming 16th-century village that feels like stepping back in time. This picturesque setting was chosen to represent the fictional town of Cranesmuir and serves as the home of Geillis Duncan and her ill-fated husband, Arthur, in Outlander. Wander through the village's cobbled streets and look out for iconic filming locations from the show, such as Claire's herb garden, nestled behind the impressive, historic Culross Palace. After immersing yourself in the landscapes and stories that inspired Outlander, we'll return to Glasgow in the early evening.
You return to Glasgow at approximately 6.30pm.

FAQs:
Do you offer hotel pickups in the departure cities?
- The UK and Ireland's historic city centres are full of narrow streets and winding roads. So, to speed up your departure, we only pick up from our central meeting points. What's more is leaving the city using the most direct route also reduces the carbon footprint of our tours.
Is there parking close to the departure point?
- We don't recommend bringing your car into the centre of our departure cities. It can be hard to find parking, and there are excellent public transportation services.
When should I get to the departure point?
- Arrive 15 minutes before your departure time. Due to waiting restrictions, we can't wait for you if you're late.
What happens if I'm late or miss the tour?
- If you're late for your tour, our cancellation policy applies. 100% charges are applicable, and you will not be entitled to a refund or alternative.
Can Itineraries change?
- Your tour will always follow the itinerary as closely as possible. Your driver-guide will keep you up to date on the road, and we'll try to get in touch about any large changes prior to your departure.
Can I pre-book a specific seat?
- Due to logistical reasons, we're unable to let you pre-book a seat on the bus. But our comfortable 16-seat mini-coaches have huge windows. So, you'll always get a good view.
Are there toilets on the bus?
- Unfortunately, we have no on-board toilet facilities, but you'll have regular comfort breaks.
How do you cater for people with accessibility needs?
- We aim to accommodate everyone.
How much time do I get off the bus?
- We want you to enjoy Britain and Ireland. And we believe the best way to do this is to get you off the mini-coach and out exploring. So, we give you plenty of time to take photos, go walking, and explore ancient ruins.
Why do you exclude visitor attractions?
- We exclude visitor attractions in your tour price because it lets you travel your way. It means you can pamper yourself with a luxury lunch or skip an attraction whenever you feel like it.
Do we need to bring our own lunch?
- You don't need to. We stop in small towns, villages, and rural eateries where you can choose whatever meal pleases both your taste buds and your budget.
Should I tip the driver-guide?
- Let's be honest, our driver-guides would never refuse a cheeky bonus. But it's up to you, and the amount is entirely at your discretion.
What about travel insurance?
- We advise you take out travel insurance.
What is ABTOT?
- You're protected by ABTOT when you chose to let us reserve your accommodation on a multi-day tour. This means you can claim back anything you've paid us if we become bankrupt.
