Today, we journey south to one of the most iconic locations in the Outlander universe: Kinloch Rannoch, the stunning Highland setting that served as the backdrop for Craigh na Dun. While the standing stones were created for filming, the landscape itself is every bit as mystical and breathtaking as it appeared on screen. Here, surrounded by sweeping hills and ancient silence, you’ll feel the power and emotion of Claire’s fateful leap through time. It’s a moment to reflect on all we’ve experienced together: past, present, and the stories in between.

Here, you’ll instantly recognize the familiar square where Jamie’s ghost watched Claire through the window. We’ll enjoy a leisurely lunch at the Covenantor Inn, better known to fans as Mrs. Baird’s B&B, where Claire and Frank spent their honeymoon before time travel changed everything.
