“Eowan was a fabulous tour guide. He kept my teenagers (usually never impressed) interested and my history loving husband interested as well.

Full-day Outlander tour from Edinburgh to Falkland, Culross, Doune Castle, Linlithgow Palace and Midhope Castle with a driver-guide.
“The guide was very funny and kept making jokes, which made the trip more enjoyable because he was so enthusiastic and cheerful. The highlight of the tour was being able to enter Lallybroch. Since the filming of Blood of My Blood was taking place, we couldn’t visit one of the main castles and ended up going on a tour that wasn’t related to Outlander. Personally, I would have preferred to spend more time at another location or visit a different filming site from the series. Still, the overall tour was very good.”
