As the highly anticipated new series of Outlander hits screens on the 16th of June 2024, fans are getting ready for another trip to the Scottish Highlands. If you’re keen on diving deep into the Outlander phenomenon, Inverness and its nearby spots are where it all happens. It’s where the majority of the story takes place, whether you’re reading the books or watching the show, take a trip around the Scottish Highlands on an Outlander tour.
Ness Walks Outlander tour base
The Ness Walk Hotel in Inverness is a great place to start your Outlander tour. It’s right in the middle of everything, making it easy to explore the spots where the show was filmed and the places it’s based on. If you’re a fan of Jamie and Claire Fraser, you’ll love being so close to where their story unfolds.
Outlander historical sites
One of the best parts of an Outlander trip is seeing the places that make the show special. Whether it’s the ancient stones that inspired Craigh Na Dun or the big Castle Leod, home to Clan Mackenzie, there are plenty of spots to make you feel like you’re in Diana Gabaldon’s story.
If you want to learn more about the history behind Outlander, you should visit Culloden Battlefield. This is where the Jacobite Rising ended in tragedy. Standing there you can feel the sadness of what happened and remember the people who fought and died there.
Another interesting place to visit is Fort George. Here, you can learn about what happened after the conflict and see how they planned to protect Scotland. Look out for dolphins in the sea surrounding the fort. The huge walls of the fort show how hard they worked to keep Scotland safe. Relish the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of the Fraser and MacKenzie clans.
Of course, no Outlander tour would be complete without a visit to the iconic Urquhart Castle. It’s perched on the shores of Loch Ness. With its history and stunning views over the loch, It’s no wonder people love visiting it, especially Outlander fans.
