Get ready to travel back in time as you leave Edinburgh behind and head to Culross. You may recognise this 16th-century village as the fictional town of Cranesmuir and you'll have time to visit Claire's herb garden, explore the palace and wander through the ancient streets while you imagine what life was like 400 years ago. Then, it's time to travel onwards to Doune Castle or as it's known in Outlander, Castle Leoch. This formidable building gives you an insight into the living conditions of an earl in the 14th century and during your visit, you can learn more with the help of an audio guided tour. Your next stop will be Linlithgow Palace where you can take in the stunning views of the Forth Bridge, have a picnic by the loch and explore the ruins of Mary Queen of Scots' birthplace. You'll move onto the impressive Blackness Castle that bears a striking resemblance to a giant stone boat and then check out Midhope Castle. Unfortunately, visitors cannot go inside the castle but Jamie's lovely Lallybroch home is still an essential photo opportunity for any fans of the show!
