Not in Scotland Anymore

Visit the beautiful little fishing village of Anstruther and explore the Scottish Fisheries Museum. Check to see if its most famous exhibit is docked in the harbour - The Reaper. A restored herring drifter, this historic ship was used in season 1 of Outlander as the boat that Claire, Jamie and Murtagh row out to on the way to France.

Balgonie Castle is a private house, however, it can be easily viewed from layby next to it. This thirteenth century tower and outbuildings is said to be haunted by many ghosts, but it was to take the guise of the home of MacRannoch during season 1. The hall and courtyard were used for filming.

Leave your car here and prepare to visit Dysart harbour.

After ascending the cliffs above Dysart harbour, the coastal path will take your past this memorial to the poet Duncan Glen, which features his poem 'Stanes'.

Although currently closed to the public, Ravenscraig Castle is an impressive fortress, with the exterior being available to view. Dating from around 1460, the castle was commissioned by King James II as Scotland's first specialised artillery fortification. It was granted to the Sinclair family and saw action during the invasion by Oliver Cromwell in 1650.

Walk along the harbour wall to get a great view of Dysart Harbour. A hub of activity following its construction in 1450, Dysart was a centrepoint of the salt and coal trade to the Low Countries.
Dysart was given a facelift in season 2, becoming the French port of Le Havre.

The Harbourmaster's Cafe is a great place to enjoy a lunch and the building also featured heavily during Dysart's transformation into Le Havre.

This impressive castle is among the oldest masonry castles still standing in Scotland, being over 500 years old, and has served the powerful Mortimer, Randolph and Douglas families over those years.
The castle has yet to open since the pandemic lockdown, but it was here that part of season 1's final episode was filmed, with the castle becoming the Abbey of Ste. Anne de Beaupre, where Jamie convalesced after his attack by Black Jack Randall. The castles stables, gallery and kitchen were all used during filming.

Park here and prepare for a short walk to the Balbirnie Stone Circle.

This ancient circle of eight stones is over 4,000 years old. Perhaps a little underwhelming compared to the fictional stone circle of Outlander's Craigh na Dun, there is still magic to be felt in these mystical stones of a bygone age. Do you dare touch them and risk being transported back hundred's of years into the past?

Your Outlander odyssey may have come to an end, but there is still time to enjoy a sumptious dinner at the impressive Balbirnie House, where you can reminisce on the beautiful land of Scotland as captured by Outlander.
