More stunning Outlander film locations we can't wait to visit across Scotland this summer

If you're an Outlander fan, then you'll already have a love affair with Scotland and know some of the bigger filming locations we've covered, such as Blackness Castle, Culross and Falkland Palace. And who can forget, fan favourite and soon-to-be whisky distillery Midhope Castle?

But with Scottish sites representing both France and the American colonies in the show, there are plenty of other lesser-known sites that fans can check out to see some of the settings for their favourite scenes.

With filming returning to Scotland for both season six and seven, there are even more epic locations being added to the list.

With that in mind we've picked out some of the interesting, yet less well-known, Outlander locations from across the length and breadth of the country.

The Cloisters, Glasgow University

Located at the famous uni in the city's west end (the second oldest in Scotland), the Cloisters where students graduate – also known as The Undercroft – were used in several scenes in the show. Doubling as 1960s Harvard in Massachussettes (another very famous university), the distinctive fluted columns can be seen in episodes in season 3, when Claire, Bree and Roger are in the future.

Found east of the city centre near Glasgow Green is this stunning former parish church – often referred to as “Saints” –which is a popular wedding venue, and is also where they shot the theatre scenes with Jamie and Claire attending the play with Governor Tyron. The exterior of the church also appeared in some scenes with Brianna too.

Pollok Country Park, Glasgow

Not only has this wonderful Country Park in Glasgow featured in season one, as the grounds surrounding the fictional Castle Leoch, and season two at Pollok House, but it's also being used for new scenes involving the as-yet-to-be-introduced Hunter siblings, who will be appearing in season 7.

Calderglen Country Park, South Lanarkshire

A beautiful park found near Glasgow, Calderglen Country Park is popular with dog walkers and families for days out with nature trails, gardens and the historic Torrance House.

The park was used as a backdrop in season 4 when Jamie took William on a hunting and fishing trip, with dangerous consequences.

Newhailes House, East Lothian

Another season 4 location is the majestic 17th-century Palladian villa known as Newhailes House. The National Trust for Scotland site near Edinburgh doubled as Governor Tyron’s home in North Carolina, where Jamie discussed the offer of a land grant in exchange for service to the English Crown, and where Jamie and Claire were introduced into Wilmington society. The house is open to visitors for guided tours and nature walks in the gardens and surrounding land.

Burntisland Harbour, Fife

The sailing boat Phoenix was recently spotted by one show fan who lives locally being used as part of scenes for the hit show. Based at the harbour, it's set to feature in season 7 of the show with scenes involving Jamie and Claire (possibly a much vaunted return to Scotland?).

Preston Mill, East Linton

It's one of the most intriguing looking but lesser-known Outlander filming locations.

The historic Preston Mill, in the village of East Linton, doubled as Lallybroch's Mill in the first series.

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.
