Designed to replicate a little slice of Scottish history, Duncarron is the ideal place for Outlander's cast and crew to film scenes for the hit show.
Opened in 2019 after work on the site began way back in 2008, the replica medieval village is designed to be a lifelike recreation of a Scottish fortress and village from the 12th Century.
The spectacular site has to be seen to be believed, and it's likely you will feel as though you've stepped back into the past. Used to educate people on what life was like in the past, and the team behind it, the Clanranald Trust also provide medieval fighting experts and stunt actors for films and TV shows including Outlander.
Indeed, scenes for the upcoming season 7 are currently being shot in and around the fort, with Clanranald supplying people to play redcoats - presumably for the upcoming scenes showing the battles set to be fought during the Revolutionary War.
The open-air museum hosts regular events from time periods throughout history allowing people to get hands with an interactive experience, where people can dress up in costume and learn about Scottish history and how ordinary folk lived in this time.
A popular film set, it's been used as a film site for everything from Outlander to Netflix show Northmen to films like Outlaw King.
Indeed, a tower at the fortress has been named after Russell Crowe, thanks to his support for the project after he donated a life-sized prop of a battering ram which now sits at the site.
Based around a ‘Bailey’ (the Clan Chief’s home and Clan meeting hall), the village was the site of a clan chief and was usually built on or beside a ‘Motte’ (a natural man-made mound).
In 2019, when it first opened, Charlie Allan, chief executive of the Clanranald Trust, told Edinburgh Live: "The village and fortress are quite realistic and authentic.
"For specific events, we'll have people performing medieval fighting and everyday tasks, there's going to be some incredible things to come along to.
"It's not a museum, it's something people can immerse themselves in."
He described it as a "living-working village", adding that people will produce arts and crafts by traditional methods from their workshops, with every effort made to utilise clothing materials similar to the times.
Not only does it host events throughout the year, Duncarron also offers banquets for weddings and special occasions, events and other activities.
