Stop At: Craigmillar Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland

Craigmillar Castle, built by the Preston family in the late 14th Century. This magnificent stronghold played a important part in the real life history of Mary Queen of Scots as it was here that the conspiracy to murder her husband Lord Darnley was conceived. More recently it was used as Ardsmuir prison in Outlander and in Outlaw King where it was used as Robert the Bruce's family home.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Linlithgow Palace, Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland

Linlithgow Palace, birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots. We will tell you tales of Kings and Queens and the Thistle & the Rose and enjoy the grandeur of this Pleasure Palace. You will see where filming took place for the crowing scene in Outlaw King and the courtyard was also used. Outlander fans will recognise it as it was used for some internal shots of Wentworth Prison.

Stop At: Blackness Castle, Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland

Blackness Castle, a 15th century stronghold known as "The ship that never sailed". Lately it has been used extensively for filming, its imposing presence lends itself well to medieval productions.
