Begin your journey with an international flight (most likely overnight) to the UK.
Check out of your hotel and leave with your driver-guide for Doune Castle, a focal point for any Outlander fans, as it stands in for the fictional Castle Leoch in the show. The castle has also featured in Game of Thrones and Monty Python so is a must see for any film fans! After your tour of the castle, head to the nearby Drummond Castle Gardens, a beautiful formal garden which was used to represent the ornate Palace of Versailles. From here, drive into the scenic Cairngorms to rest your head in a Scandi-chic farmhouse with a farm-to-fork foodie vibe.
En route to Doune Castle, stop in at Stirling Castle, one of Scotland's grandest castles thanks to its imposing position and impressive architecture.
After a leisurely breakfast make the hour-long journey towards Inverness with your driver-guide, where you will spend the morning exploring the Culloden battlefield and the Clava Cairns. The Culloden battlefield is where the final Jacobite uprising ended in 1746. Nearby is the prehistoric site of Clava Cairns, which is where Diana Gabaldon is said to have taken inspiration for Outlander's fictitious stone circle, Craigh na Dun.
Enjoy lunch in Inverness before taking a private boat cruise on the Loch Ness, which featured in the Outlander novels during Claire & Frank's honeymoon. Ensure you stop off at Urqhuart Castle, which (back in the real world) was blown up by Government forces after the first uprising in 1692 to prevent it falling under Jacobite hands.
Your driver-guide will then transfer you back to your farmhouse in the Cairngorms.
Relax in your hotel today and enjoy the facilities - we can arrange some country pursuits or a day trip to the Isle of Skye if you would prefer to be more active.
Today visit the historic George Square in Glasgow, which is where Frank proposed to Claire, and Glasgow Cathedral, which doubled as the Parisian hospital Claire volunteers in. The cathedral also boasts one of the finest post-war collections of stained-glass windows in Britain. Enjoy the city's striking Victorian architecture and world-famous art collections during your day tour. In the evening head to Ashton Lane to explore the quirky independent restaurants. We will recommend one and can prebook a table.
This morning your driver is on hand to transfer you back to Edinburgh Airport in good time for your flight home via London.
