Better known to Outlander fans as Castle Leoch. Explore the great hall, kitchen and battlements. Audio guides feature actor Sam Heughan (Jamie Fraser) and offer behind‑the‑scenes anecdotes.

Glen Coe

A valley as dramatic in history as it is in beauty. The 1692 Glencoe Massacre of the MacDonalds is a tale of betrayal; your guide recounts it as you take photos against the imposing mountains.

Clava Cairns

A Bronze Age burial site over 4,000 years old. Its standing stones inspired the fictional Craigh na Dun. Walk carefully among the circular cairns and feel the echoes of ancient rituals.

Loch Lomond & The Trossachs

If time permits, end your day in Scotland’s first national park. Cruise the loch or stroll through picturesque villages like Luss.

Culloden Battlefield & Visitor Centre

Learn about the 1746 battle that ended the Jacobite uprising and forever altered Highland life. A 360° cinema and interactive displays bring the decisive 30‑minute battle to life. Walk the field and see clan markers where the fallen are buried.
