Experience Scotland your way

We have tours for all varieties of travel styles and interests. See our options for exploring Scotland below.

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 to explore Scotland’s cosmopolitan capital city. Beyond Edinburgh’s top attractions, you’ll find winding cobbled alleyways, lush parks, and endless fine dining options.

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.

What do our customers say?

The reviews speak for themselves. See what Nordic Visitor travellers said about their experience with us.

Sharon, United States
Wonders of Scotland, September 2023

Highly recommend Nordic Visitor

This is our second tour with Nordic Visitor. Agents used before the tour were always very prompt with responses to our questions. During the tour, we found the accommodation perfect, guide very informative and friendly, and the driver got used to where we needed to go without any problems. We would definitely use Nordic Visitor again!

Alan, United States
Highlights of Scotland, May 2023

Smooth experience

Throughout the years we have travelled a lot, but never with a group tour. This trip was our first time and it did not disappoint. The tour guide, the bus driver, our fellow passengers, the weather, accommodation, variety of activities, and how smoothly everything went makes me question why we never toured like this before!

David, United States
Scottish Highlands & Isle of Skye, September 2023

An unforgettable holiday

It was an unforgettable holiday. They took care of everything, and we got to wonder and explore with little hassle. If you want to visit Scotland (or anywhere else Nordic Visitor has tours) they are the way to do it. Already talking about our next adventure with Nordic Visitor.

Carol, United States
Scottish Highlands & Isle of Skye - Private, May 2023

An indescribably fantastic experience!

We are two middle-aged women who had never been to the UK before. My sister-in-law always wanted to go to Scotland, so I started researching and came upon Nordic Visitor through internet searches. I checked for reviews and found the company to be highly recommended. I started corresponding with Kirsten. She was extremely kind, very helpful and was able to put my nervous mind at ease. The package she put together for us was perfect! From my first email, the airport pick up and drop off service, and the tour with Dave, it was an indescribably fantastic experience!

Andrew, United States
Classic Scotland, June 2023

Top notch

The tour package materials were top notch. Spiral bound itinerary, recommended activities, restaurant recommendations and the large-scale road map of Scotland were a nice touch. Magdalena, our Nordic Visitor representative, responded promptly to our questions. Accomodation was all great.

Bethany, United States
Classic Scotland, May 2023

Perfect vacation!

For our 50th wedding anniversary, we trusted Nordic Visitor to make our vacation a memorable one, and they made it beyond special. Chris, our tour planner, did everything to accommodate our needs and answered our questions quickly. It was an absolutely perfect vacation!

Barbara, United States
Best of Edinburgh - Loch Ness & Highlands, June 2023

We were in good hands

As first-time visitors to Edinburgh, and senior citizens, our choice to use Nordic Visitor was an excellent one. The welcome package we received at the hotel was really helpful, with our tour vouchers, maps and restaurant recommendations. We would not have known what hotel to select and the one selected for us was perfect. The choice of tours offered was perfect for a 5-day visit. So glad to learn about the Royal Mile and visit the castle. The trip through the Highlands and Loch Ness was beautiful. Our travel agent, Rebecca, always quickly responded to email questions prior to departure. Thank you! Nordic Visitor made our trip easy and rewarding. We were in good hands.

Noreen, United States
Complete Scotland & Ireland, April 2023

Highly professional service

Nordic Visitor is a highly professional tour company. From beginning to end, we have no complaints. Our travel consultant, Chris, was very quick to answer all our questions from start to finish. Could not be more pleased.
