The success of Diana Gabeldon’s “Outlander” novels, and the resultant TV series, has been something of a phenomenon and has brought a new focus and a virtual explosion of interest to many of the historic sites throughout Scotland.  The Highlands is the centre stage of the unfolding story both in fact and the tapestry of fictional story.

Hame Tours have responded by creating an “Outlander” day, integrating features of our existing tours which have an Outlander connection into an eight-hour itinerary with visits to the actual sites which either feature in the series and books, or are almost certainly the inspiration for the characters and events portrayed.  These are, of necessity, not always where the filming was undertaken but are the real theatre and stage of this romantic, but tragic, period of history.

You will visit the following places in the company of our driver/guide whose commentary will bring alive the relevance of these visits.
