Edinburgh Outlander History and Filming Tour

Join us as to explore the real-life history behind the world-famous Outlander series. Who were the Jacobites? What were they fighting for? And what happened after Culloden?
On this tour you will not only learn about Scotland’s fascinating 18th century history, but we will also show you the Outlander filming locations in Edinburgh, including the iconic Bakehouse Close, where Jamie and Claire finally reunite.

On this tour, we will teach you some Gaelic and explain some of the expressions that Jamie frequently uses.

We will also be telling you more about Celtic magic and mythology – from Standing Stones to the legendary selkies.

It is not hard to imagine you have fallen through the stones yourself when you join us on our walk through Edinburgh’s historic Old Town. We will be heading down the Royal Mile and will finish at Edinburgh’s Royal Residence, Holyrood Palace.
