Outlander

I'm a big fan of Outlander, so booking a one-day Outlander Tour (in Scotland) was a no-brainer for me. It was a small group tour with a company called Rabbie. It left from the Edinburgh bus station. Our tour guide was a young man named Jamie. Believe it or not. He claimed it was his real name, not a stage name. Jamie had only been with the tour company for a few weeks. He did a good job, giving us a lot of information and playing Scottish music in between (I think he was a wanna-be DJ). I gave him a good tip. 


Tour stops included Midhope Castle (Lallybroch), Blackness Castle (Fort William), Linlithgow Palace (Wentworth Prison), Doane Castle (Castle Leoch), and Culross (Crainsmuir)I have a different experience now when I watch Outlander. There is a familiarity.
