The Outlander filming location that used stunning Scottish castle gardens to represent Versailles

Perhaps one of the most spectacular settings in Outlander, the gardens of the Palace at Versailles are where Claire and Jamie spend time in the court of King Louis XV in season 2. Did you know though, that the actual gardens used for filming are in Scotland and not France?

The manicured grounds of Perthshire's Drummond Castle stood in for the ornate park and orchard of the famous French Palace. Found near the town of Crieff, the historic estate has a series of formal terraced gardens, which date back to the 1630s and even have links to the Jacobite movement.

Considered to be one of the finest examples of their kind in Europe, the gardens were redesigned and terraced in the 19th Century before being replanted in the 1950s, they also feature a beech tree planted by Queen Victoria, commemorating her visit in 1842.
