ABOUT SCOTTISH OUTLANDER TOURS

Choose Nordic Visitor and our Edinburgh-based travel experts will use their local knowledge to create an unforgettable Outlander-themed adventure for you.

Simply pick the way of travelling that suits you from a range of Scottish self-drive tours and privately guided packages in Scotland. Read on to find out which will suit you best.



GO ON A SELF-DRIVE TOUR OF OUTLANDER SITES IN SCOTLAND

Opting for a self-drive tour will give you the freedom to see the attractions you want while going at your own pace. And although you may be travelling independently, it won’t feel that way because on a Nordic Visitor road trip you can expect:

  • A dedicated travel consultant who’ll arrange your trip
  • A hand-noted, personalised itinerary and route map
  • 24/7 phone support during your adventure for peace of mind
  • Handpicked accommodation at your chosen price point

Plus, these tours are designed to be flexible so you can customise your trip with extra nights or additional attractions. For instance, you could add extra nights in Inverness and take a day tour to Loch Ness.



VENTURE BEHIND THE SCENES OF OUTLANDER WITH A LOCAL GUIDE

Alternatively, you can explore Scotland with a knowledgeable local on a privately guided tour package, that’s completely hassle-free. This is also the perfect way to travel if want to gain extra insight into the historical events portrayed in the series.

For instance, learn about the Jacobite Rising, which came to an end on Culloden Battlefield in the mid-18th century. You’ll also find out about the fascinating history of Bonnie Prince Charlie. And discover what life was like for Scottish clans like the Mackenzies, MacDonalds and of course, the Frasers.



You can tailor your privately guided tour package by adding extra nights in Edinburgh at the beginning or end of the guided portion of your trip.

Extending your stay here will give you more time for exploring Scotland’s cosmopolitan capital city. Beyond Edinburgh’s top attractions, you’ll find winding cobbled alleyways, lush parks, and endless fine dining options.

That said, if you have something specific in mind don’t hesitate to contact our local travel experts to discuss a bespoke Scotland itinerary.

MEET OTHER OUTLANDER FANS ON A GROUP TOUR

You could also opt for a Scotland guided small group trip. Although not solely focused on Outlander sites, you’ll still see locations from the show on many of these tours.

A guided group package is ideal if you want to visit a few of the show’s top filming locations with an expert driver-guide to answer your questions. Plus, sightseeing in a group of up to just 15 guests means you’ll enjoy a more personal experience than you’d get in a larger group.



SEE THE OUTLANDER FILM LOCATIONS IN PERSON

No matter how you choose to travel on one of these Scotland Outlander tour packages you’ll want to take in the best of the show’s sights.

You’ll find that Nordic Visitor’s Outlander themed tours of Scotland showcase many of the prime filming locations featured in the series. These include Edinburgh’s iconic Royal Mile and Fife’s quaint fishing villages. As well as imposing Doune Castle, which you might recognise as “Castle Leoch”.

The vastness of Rannoch Moor and the mysterious Clava Cairns are also favourites with fans of the show. The cairns are reminiscent of the fictional “Craigh na Dun” standing stones – Claire’s magical portal.

You’ll find more must-see filming locations in Edinburgh and the nearby Kingdom of Fife:


These are some of the key Scottish castles that star in the show:

  • Blackness Castle
  • Doune Castle
  • Midhope Castle
  • Craigmillar Castle

And don’t miss other beautiful locations associated with the series:


With a few fans of the Outlander books and TV series in our midst, we’re ideally placed for creating your Outlander experience in Scotland. So get in touch with us and we’ll take care of all the details to plan your dream Outlander trip.

Express Scotland, October 2019

Absolutely love working with Nordic Visitor!

I have already traveled twice with Nordic Visitor, and am already in the process of booking a third trip! Absolutely love working with you! Every bed and breakfast we stayed at was amazing. The hosts were so welcoming with great suggestions of things to do and places to eat. The rooms were very comfortable, and the amenities were awesome! 

Paul,

Scottish Highlands & Isle of Skye, September 2020

The best holidays we have ever had!

Superb!! Our first ever 'touring' holiday and right up there with the best holidays we have ever had. We are not youngsters, so this was taken on with a bit of trepidation, but were soon put at ease by the sheer quality of accommodation provided along with the superb travel itinerary book (yes, it's that thick and detailed) and map. Even though we often used local recommendations, these became our trusted companions throughout the week - and are now valued reminders of an exceptional holiday - Thankyou Nordic Visitor, we will be back!

Crystal, United States

Classic Scotland & The Orkney islands, September 2019

Wonderful experience!

Thank you so much! Our experience in Scotland was wonderful! We felt prepared for what to expect, particularly as it relates to making dinner reservations on the islands we visited. The food recommendations were excellent , the accommodations were cozy, and the recommendations for sites and attractions greatly appreciated. A special thank you to Agne who answered all my inquiries, helped us make dinner reservations and confirmed all our dates and meeting times - she was a pleasure to work with!  

David,

Classic Scotland, September 2020

Excellent trip

All accommodations were excellent with very friendly hosts. Car rental pickup was very quick and easy and car was excellent. Rebecca was excellent, she took all our requirements and made a personal tour for us. Her attention to detail was excellent.The documents at our first hotel were excellent especially the map with everything marked on for us.

David

Scottish Highlands & Isle of Skye, June 2019

A positive experience, beginning to end!

This tour was a positive experience for us, beginning to end. The planning by Nordic Visitor was complete, thoughtful, and worked flawlessly. Scotland was stunning and most interesting - we just wish we had more time. To Nordic Visitor: Great Job! We'll be back!

Gary, Canada

Scottish Highlands & Isle of Skye - Winter, November 2019

The accommodations, destinations and car were great!

The tour went very well. All the accommodation was excellent. We are very pleased with all the arrangements and communications that we had with Rebecca. The accommodations, destinations and car were great. Our only wish is that we would have had more time at some of the locations. We had a hard time packing it all in!

Jennifer

Express Scotland, July 2019

Nothing but great words to say about Nordic Visitor!

We were thrilled with all of our accommodations. All hosts/hostesses were very friendly and we felt very welcomed. The rental car service was also very good and thorough. And we felt as though everyone had a good working relationship as the businesses had nothing but great words to say about Nordic Visitor so we felt good that everyone was working together to make our visit a great one!
