5.00It was amazing to see all the filming sites and the actual castles used in Outlander. We wished we had a bit more time in Culross but the tour let us see so much. The coach was comfortable and our host, Torva, was a wealth of knowledge and great stories. We thoroughly enjoyed his commentary.
Great experience

5.00I had an absolutely fantastic time on the Haggis Adventures Outlander Filming Locations Tour! As an Outlander fan, this was one of the highlights of my trip to Scotland. I have been on tours before where the guide was essentially just a driver getting you from one stop to the next, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised! Our guides, Allie (who was in training) and her fellow guide, made the day exceptional. The lead guide was a fabulous storyteller, and she shared so much about events and the history behind the filming locations, Scottish folklore, and fascinating local stories that brought each destination to life. Allie did a wonderful job as well, and together they created a fun, welcoming atmosphere. The scenery was stunning, the itinerary was well planned, and there was a perfect balance of information, humor, and time to explore and take photos. It never felt rushed, and the passion the guides had for Scotland and its history really shone through. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Scotland. Whether you're a devoted Outlander fan or simply interested in Scottish history and beautiful landscapes, you'll have a memorable experience. This was so much more than a bus ride—it was a day of storytelling, history, and adventure, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it!
Thank you to our wonderful guide
