Well, it seems that the current Outlander TV show is set to come to an end after the recently confirmed season 8 and though fans might be sad, we still have two new seasons (and a prequel) to look forward to.
And, to help continue the fun, and allow fans to get even closer to the series than ever before, there are plenty of exciting locations around the country where stars like Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe have filmed scenes for the show.
Luckily, there are quite a few of them within easy reach of Edinburgh, some inside the city itself, meaning any residents or visitors to the city who love the thought of a little romantic time travelling (and kilt-swinging action) can see where Outlander was filmed up close.

Newhailes House, East Lothian (25 minutes from Edinburgh city centre)
A season 4 location, this majestic 17th-century Palladian villa known as Newhailes House doubled as Governor Tyron’s home in North Carolina, where Jamie discussed the offer of a land grant in exchange for service to the Crown.
Run by the National Trust, the house is open to visitors for guided tours and nature walks in the gardens and surrounding land.
Burntisland Harbour, Fife (1 hour from Edinburgh city centre)
The sailing boat Phoenix was spotted by show fans who live locally at this traditional harbour being used as part of scenes for the hit show. It is set to feature in the upcoming season 7 for scenes involving Jamie and Claire (possibly a much-vaunted return to Scotland?).
Preston Mill, East Linton (40 mins from Edinburgh city centre)
This unique location is one of the lesser-known Outlander filming locations, the historic Preston Mill, in the village of East Linton, featured in series one as Lallybroch's Mill (you might recognise the water wheel).
The stunning building with stone walls and Dutch-style orange pan-tiled conical kiln roof is considered to be one of the oldest working grain mills in Scotland.
Falkland and Falkland Palace (1 hour and 10 mins from Edinburgh city centre)
The picturesque village in Fife doubled as 1940s Inverness in season one, and you can actually stay at Mrs Baird’s B & B that featured in the show; called the Covenanter in real life, the guesthouse looks out onto the Bruce Fountain where Jamie's ghost is first seen.
The beautiful Falkland Palace also played its part, in season two, one cellar room doubled as an apothecary’s room for filming in 'The Hail Mary' episode where Claire seeks medical supplies.
Blackness Castle (50 minutes from Edinburgh city centre)
Ok, so maybe it's a bit more obvious than the others on this list, but the coastal fortress, dubbed the 'ship that never sailed' due to its shape, is incredible to see in person
The 15th-century fortress close to the village of Blackness doubled as Fort William in the show.
The impressive castle provided the backdrop as Jamie was punished by Black Jack Randall.
Bakehouse Close (Edinburgh city centre)
This historic close just off the Royal Mile is a little slice of the capital's history and features in one of the most popular episodes of the show.
Bakehouse doubles as Carfax Close, where Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) works at Alexander Malcolm’s print shop under his new persona.
It's the location of the reunion, where Claire (Caitriona Balfe) finally finds him after they've spent 20 years apart following her return to the future.
A truly pivotal scene it's one of the most important not only in the lives of Jamie and Claire but also the show itself, capturing the humour, warmth and of course, deep abiding love between the two.
