Highlights

Embark on a magical journey through Edinburgh as we trace real life history behind the beloved TV show "Outlander." This tour is a must for fans of the series and those intrigued by Scotland's rich history and culture. As we explore the iconic city that served as the backdrop for the series' most memorable moments, you'll be transported back to the time of the Jacobite rebellion, experiencing the love, conflict, and adventure of "Outlander." Learn about the historical context that inspired the series, including the real events of the Jacobite rebellion and how they influenced the characters and plots of "Outlander." Feel the romance of the Old Town's cobbled streets, visit the real-life settings that doubled for places like Alexander Malcolm’s Printshop, and hear tales of love, loyalty, and bravery that echo through the ages.
