Ready for a cracking day out packed with castles, colossal horse sculptures, and famous filming locations? This tour from Glasgow mixes an Outlander fan favourite with some of Scotland’s most iconic sights. With a local guide leading the way, expect history, legends, great views, and plenty of photo stops — plus the option to end the day cruising one of Scotland’s most famous lochs.
We kick things off by leaving Glasgow and heading straight to the Kelpies — the world’s largest horse sculptures. These massive steel icons make for an unforgettable first stop and some seriously impressive photos.
Next up is Midhope Castle, instantly recognisable to Outlander fans as Lallybroch. While the castle interior isn’t open, you’ll have the option to wander the peaceful grounds, soak up the atmosphere, and snap photos of this legendary filming location. Standing here feels like stepping right into the series.
From there, we travel to mighty Stirling Castle, one of Scotland’s most important and dramatic historical landmarks. You’ll have time to grab lunch and, if you fancy, head inside the castle to explore its grand rooms and learn about the kings, queens, and battles that shaped the nation.
Our final stop is Balloch, a charming village on the shores of Loch Lomond. Stretch your legs, enjoy the fresh lochside air, or jump aboard an optional cruise for a relaxed and scenic finish to the day.
After a day full of legendary sights and Scottish scenery, we’ll roll back into Glasgow in the late afternoon — tired legs, full camera rolls, and plenty of stories to tell.
