Spoilers ahead for Outlander: Blood of My Blood. Read at your own risk.
Blood of My Blood, the Outlander prequel, premiered on Starz in August 2025, and season two began streaming on 18 September 2026, with new episodes weekly until 20 November.
The prequel follows two parallel romances across two centuries – Jamie Fraser’s parents, Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie and Claire Beauchamp’s parents, Henry Beauchamp and Julia Moriston in 18th-century Scotland.
This is my guide and map of every confirmed Blood of My Blood filming location in Scotland, updated as season two airs. Where to find them, what to expect, and how to fit them into a road trip alongside the main Outlander filming locations. I’ll add new locations as each episode reveals them.

Bakehouse Close
Where Claire finds Jamie again after twenty years. The print shop isn't real, but you can walk through the archway and climb the same steps. Look for the Bakehouse Close sign at Huntly House on the Canongate.
↑ Back to mapTweeddale Court
Almost opposite Bakehouse Close, this is where Claire and Jamie meet Fergus after their reunion. Off the High Street, near the World's End pub.
↑ Back to mapThe Signet Library
The society ball from season three. It's a working legal library, so the way in is to book afternoon tea at Colonnades downstairs.
↑ Back to mapSummerhall
The old veterinary anatomy lecture theatre where Claire starts her medical studies and meets Joe Abernathy. It opens for events and tours rather than every day, so check what's on.
↑ Back to mapCraigmillar Castle
Where Jamie is held after Culloden and first meets Lord John Grey. Far quieter than Edinburgh Castle, with great views back over the city. About 20 minutes by bus from the Royal Mile.
↑ Back to mapMidhope Castle
Jamie's ancestral home, and expected back in Blood of My Blood season two once Brian and Ellen marry. Tickets cover the exterior. The interior was derelict for years and is only now opening to visitors. Use postcode EH30 9RW and follow the single-track road for about a mile and a half.
↑ Back to mapHopetoun House
One of Outlander's hardest-working locations, also used for the duels and for Jamie teaching Willie to ride. Open Friday to Monday. A joint ticket with Midhope is £18.50.
↑ Back to mapBlackness Castle
Black Jack Randall's headquarters in Outlander, and new to Blood of My Blood for season two after closing for three weeks of filming in autumn 2025. Its role in the prequel hasn't been confirmed yet. No car? Take the train to Linlithgow, then the no. 49 bus.
↑ Back to mapLinlithgow Palace
The birthplace of Mary, Queen of Scots gave Wentworth Prison its interiors. Five minutes' walk from Linlithgow station, and an easy pairing with Blackness and Midhope.

↑ Back to mapPreston Mill
The working water mill where Jamie strips off to clear the wheel. National Trust for Scotland, free for members. Book in advance.
↑ Back to mapGlencorse Old Kirk
The little kirk in the hills south of Edinburgh where Claire and Jamie marry. It's still used for weddings, so visits are by appointment only. Email ahead.
↑ Back to mapCulross village
Geillis Duncan's village, with the witch trial and pillory scenes filmed around the Mercat Cross. Blood of My Blood used it for period village scenes and came back for season two. It's pronounced coo-ris. Free parking at each end of the village.
↑ Back to mapCulross West Kirk
The ruined kirk from The Way Out, where Claire works out that lily of the valley is poisoning the village boys. About a mile's walk uphill from the village.
↑ Back to mapCulross Abbey House

↑ Back to mapAberdour Castle
Where Claire and Murtagh bring Jamie to recover after Wentworth. Look for the painted ceilings and the dovecot in the gardens. The castle is right beside Aberdour station.

The harbour that stood in for Le Havre. Have a coffee at the Harbourmaster's House, then carry on along the Fife Coastal Path. You can walk here along the coast from Kirkcaldy.
↑ Back to mapFalkland
Where Claire and Frank honeymoon at the start of it all. Find the Covenanter Hotel, which played Mrs Baird's B&B, and the Bruce Fountain, where the ghost of Jamie appears. Falkland Palace is a short walk away.
↑ Back to mapMelville House
The Clan Grant seat, first seen when Henry arrives to act as bladier. The house is private and you can't walk up to it. Booking a stay at Melville Escapes in the grounds is the only way to see it up close.
↑ Back to mapGlasgow Cathedral
The crypt became the Paris hospital where Claire volunteers in season two. Free to visit, with volunteer guides. Walk up to the Necropolis behind it for the view.
↑ Back to mapGeorge Square
Dressed as the 1940s for the flashback where Frank proposes to Claire. Right in the city centre, in front of the City Chambers.
↑ Back to mapUniversity of Glasgow
The cloisters and quadrangle doubled as Harvard, where Frank teaches and Brianna later studies. Free to walk round, best on a weekday. Allow an hour.
↑ Back to mapPark Terrace
The London street where Henry Beauchamp lives. It's residential, so be considerate. Ten minutes' walk from Kelvingrove Art Gallery.
↑ Back to mapPark Circus
The exterior of Julia Moriston's flat, five minutes from Park Terrace. These are people's homes, so keep it quick and quiet.
↑ Back to mapKelvingrove Park Garden Steps
Julia waits at the top of these steps when Henry comes home from the trenches. Look for the grand flight of stairs leading up from the park towards Park Terrace.
↑ Back to mapPollok Country Park
The woods stood in for the land around Leoch and for the French countryside. The park is also home to the Burrell Collection and Glasgow's own fold of Highland cows.
↑ Back to mapLuss village
Dressed as an 18th-century Highland settlement for the clan gatherings, the deer hunt and the Beltane celebrations. One of the busiest villages in Scotland in summer, so come early or on a weekday.
↑ Back to mapFinnich Glen & the Devil’s Pulpit
Where Dougal tests whether Claire is lying. The path down is steep, muddy and seriously slippery, and people have been badly hurt here. Wear boots and stay away after heavy rain.
↑ Back to mapLoch Katrine
Where Brianna and Roger spend time together in season two. Sail it on the steamship Sir Walter Scott from Trossachs Pier, April to October.
↑ Back to mapDoune Castle
The MacKenzie seat in both shows, and one of the few locations you can go inside. Pick up the audio guide narrated by Sam Heughan. Parking at the castle is tight, so use the village car parks when it's busy.
↑ Back to mapNorth Third Reservoir
The last scene of Outlander was filmed on the crags of Lewis Hill above the reservoir. It's a 5.6km circular walk, steep at first, from a small layby by the bridge over the Bannock Burn. Parking is very limited.
↑ Back to mapBannockburn House
One of the few Blood of My Blood locations you can go inside. Guided tours led by the head of conservation take in the Laigh Hall and the Bonnie Prince Charlie Bedchamber. Book ahead.
↑ Back to mapKilbride Castle Chapel
Seen in scenes with Julia, Lord Lovat, Davina, Brian and a young Murtagh. It's on a working estate down single-track lanes, with room for only a car or two at the gate. Park considerately.
↑ Back to mapBalvaird Castle
Lord Lovat's bleak tower house, and back again for season two. The interior is derelict, but the outside is intact and open all the time. Wear sensible shoes, the ground is uneven and often muddy.
↑ Back to mapTibbermore Parish Kirk
The interior of the witch trial in The Devil's Mark. Open daily from April to October, and by request at other times. Postcode PH1 1QJ.
↑ Back to mapDrummond Castle Gardens
The parterre doubled as the gardens of Versailles, where Claire comes face to face with Black Jack Randall. Gardens only, open May to October.
↑ Back to mapThe Blood of My Blood bridge
A small stone bridge on a working estate. Park at Glenartney Church, walk about 500 metres back along the road to the white estate gate, then follow the track for 20 minutes. Go quietly, close the gates and leave it exactly as you found it.
↑ Back to mapCraigh na Dun, Kinloch Rannoch
Claire goes through the stones here in Outlander, and Henry and Julia in Blood of My Blood. The stones were a film set and are long gone, but the outcrop is still there and the views over Loch Rannoch are spectacular. Park in the village and walk up.
↑ Back to mapCulloden Battlefield
Claire visits the Fraser stone at the end of season two. The battle scenes weren't filmed here, out of respect for the war graves, so keep your voice low. Allow two to three hours with the visitor centre.
↑ Back to mapClava Cairns
Not a filming location, but the 4,000-year-old cairns and stone circle that inspired Diana Gabaldon's Craigh na Dun. Free, usually quiet, and ten minutes from Culloden.
↑ Back to mapHighland Folk Museum
The turf-roofed township from the rent-collecting episodes with Dougal. The site is huge, so allow three to four hours.
↑ Back to mapGlencoe
The Three Sisters and the Pass of Glencoe give Outlander its sweeping Highland shots. The NTS visitor centre tells the story of the 1692 massacre.
↑ Back to maplocations showing
Several of these are private homes, working estates and war graves, so go quietly, park considerately and stick to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. Prices and opening times change, so check before you set off. Blood of My Blood season two is still airing, and I add new locations as each episode confirms them.

Where was Blood of My Blood filmed?
Blood of My Blood was filmed almost entirely in Scotland. Location shoots took place across the central belt and into Perthshire and Fife. Season two filmed from June to December 2025, returning to Doune, Balvaird, Culross and Kinloch Rannoch, and adding Blackness Castle on the Firth of Forth.

Blood of My Blood filming locations in central Scotland
Doune Castle (Castle Leoch)
Castle Leoch is back in Blood of my Blood, and filming once again took place at Doune Castle. The MacKenzie clan seat sits on the River Teith between Stirling and Callander, and is one of the best-preserved medieval castles in Scotland.
Most of episode one was filmed at Doune Castle, including the gathering after the funeral of Red Jacob and the scene where Brian Fraser arrives at Leoch.
Season two update: Doune closed for around a week in autumn 2025 for filming. Leoch is central again from the first episode, “Remembrance Day”. Ellen returns home to face her brothers, and Colum has her locked in the chapel.
Doune is one of the only Outlander filming locations where you can actually go inside, and the experience is brilliant. Pick up the audio guide narrated by Sam Heughan and tune into the dedicated Outlander tour.
Doune Castle is managed by Historic Environment Scotland. Adults £10 online (£11 at the gate), free for members. Limited parking on site, so consider the village car parks when busy.

Balvaird Castle (Castle Leathers)
Balvaird Castle, a small 15th-century tower house perched on a ridge in the Ochil Hills of Perthshire, becomes Castle Leathers in the prequel. Castle Leathers is the home of Lord Lovat, Brian Fraser’s father. This is where Brian lives with his mother and housekeeper Davina Porter, and where Julia Moriston is later employed after she becomes separated from Henry.
Season two update: crews were back at Balvaird in early November 2025. In the premiere, Brian and Murtagh return to Leathers to answer Lord Lovat’s call to arms, and Julia is forced back under his roof with baby William.
The interior of the castle is derelict and was not used for filming (those scenes were shot at Bannockburn House and Wardpark Studios), but the exterior is intact and free to visit.
Free, open access. Off the M90 or A91 near Abernethy. About 20 minutes’ drive from Perth, 25 minutes from Glenrothes. Wear sensible shoes as the ground is uneven and often muddy. Find out more about Balvaird Castle.
Bannockburn House (Lady Nairn’s home and Castle Leathers interiors)
Bannockburn House, a 17th-century mansion just south of Stirling, is one of the most-used interior locations in Blood of My Blood. The house plays Lady Nairn’s home, where the Jacobite meeting with Rob Roy is held in the episode “Luceo Non Uro,” and it doubles as the interiors of Castle Leathers when we move inside Brian Fraser’s family seat. The Laigh Hall and the Bonnie Prince Charlie Bedchamber both feature.
Bannockburn House is now offering rare guided tours through the rooms used in the show. The tour is led by the head of conservation and runs through the Outlander filming rooms, the Jacobite history of the house, the connection to Bonnie Prince Charlie (who stayed here during the ’45), and the restoration story.
Check the Bannockburn House website for dates and tickets.
Kilbride Castle Chapel (the Fraser chapel)
Hidden in the countryside near Dunblane is the small Kilbride Castle Chapel, which features as the Fraser family chapel in Blood of My Blood. You’ll see this chapel in many scenes with Julia, Simon Fraser, Davina, Brian and a young Murtagh.
The chapel is on a private working estate and is reached via single-track lanes with passing places. Parking by the entry gate is very limited. The chapel itself is small but atmospheric. Drive carefully and park considerately.
Blackness Castle (new for season two)
Blackness Castle, the “ship that never sailed” on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, is the big new addition for season two. The castle closed to visitors from 29 September to 19 October 2025 while crews moved in. Camera cranes were visible on site, and boards were laid over the grass in front of the castle.
Starz hasn’t confirmed what Blackness plays in the prequel. Journalists on set that October watched a rescue mission being filmed at a “craggy seaside castle”, which sounds very familiar. Outlander fans will know Blackness as Fort William, Black Jack Randall’s headquarters. I’ll update this section as soon as it appears on screen.
Blackness Castle is managed by Historic Environment Scotland. It’s around 10 minutes from Linlithgow and 15 minutes from Midhope Castle, so the two pair up easily. Check the HES website for current prices and opening times.
Blood of My Blood filming locations in Fife
Melville House (Bowmont House, the Grant residence)
Melville House, near Letham in Fife, becomes Bowmont House, the ancestral seat of the Clan Grant. The exterior of Melville House appears in season one episode one, when Henry Beauchamp arrives at the Grant residence to act as the Bladier (clan negotiator) for the Laird, Isaac Grant.
Melville House itself is private property.
Culross Abbey House (Nairn Palace)
In Blood of My Blood, the home of Lady Nairn (the woman holding the secret Jacobite meeting attended by Rob Roy) is split across two locations. The interiors are Bannockburn House. The exteriors are Culross Abbey House, a private mansion adjacent to Culross Abbey at the top of the village.
Culross Abbey House itself is not open to the public, but the adjacent Culross Abbey is, and the views from the abbey grounds let you see the mansion next door. The walk up from the Mercat Cross to the Abbey is one of the best in Culross, with views across the Firth of Forth from the top.
Culross Abbey is managed by Historic Environment Scotland. Free, open access. The Abbey House next door is private and visible from the Abbey grounds.
Season two update: filming returned to Culross in autumn 2025. We don’t yet know what the village plays this time.
Read more – my full guide to Culross, Outlander’s Cranesmuir and now a Blood of My Blood location.
Midhope Castle (Lallybroch)
Midhope Castle on the Hopetoun Estate is widely expected to feature in Blood of My Blood season two. Brian and Ellen seem certain to marry, and Brian’s role as the new Laird of Lallybroch is the obvious next step in their story arc. As of the season two premiere, the move to Lallybroch hasn’t happened on screen yet. Midhope is the same castle that plays Lallybroch in the main Outlander series.
The interior of Midhope Castle was historically derelict and inaccessible. As of 2026, the interior is being refurbished and is opening to visitors for the first time. Midhope Castle is on the Hopetoun Estate near South Queensferry. Standard tickets are £6 for exterior access. Around 25 minutes’ drive from central Edinburgh.
Blood of My Blood filming locations in Loch Lomond
Luss village (Highland settlement)
Luss village, on the western shore of Loch Lomond, was transformed into an 18th-century Highland settlement for Blood of My Blood. Luss appears as the location of clan gatherings, the tynchal (the traditional Highland deer hunt), and the Beltane celebrations.
Luss is one of the most photographed villages in Scotland and is busy in summer. Visit early or on a weekday for a quieter experience. Luss is on the A82, around an hour from Glasgow and 90 minutes from Edinburgh. Free village car park (paid in summer).
Blood of My Blood filming locations in Highland Perthshire
The Blood of My Blood bridge (where Brian and Ellen meet)
Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie’s first meeting takes place on a small stone bridge over a Highland burn. In real life, the bridge is on the Glenartney Estate, in the hills south west of Comrie in Highland Perthshire.
The location was kept quiet for some time after season one aired, but several Outlander tour operators are now running guided visits to the bridge, and the directions have been published online.
The walk in is around 20 minutes each way. Park at Glenartney Church, walk approximately 500 metres back along the road to a white estate gate, then follow the estate track on foot. The bridge appears down to your right after about 20 minutes. The track is rough underfoot, so wear walking boots.
Access is under the Scottish Outdoor Access Code on a working estate, so please go quietly, take all litter home, close all gates, and leave the bridge exactly as you find it. The location is fragile and the only reason it’s still accessible is that visitors so far have treated it with respect.
Kinloch Rannoch (Craigh na Dun)
The fictional stone circle at Craigh na Dun returns in Blood of My Blood. The stones themselves were a film set installed on a remote outcrop above Kinloch Rannoch in Highland Perthshire and removed after filming. But the outcrop itself is still there, and the views across Loch Rannoch and the surrounding mountains are spectacular.
Season two update: Craigh na Dun opens the new season. We learn that Henry went through the stones alone and was found nearby in 1924, while Julia and William were left behind in 1715.
The outcrop is on private estate land but accessible under the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. Park in Kinloch Rannoch village and walk up. Around 2 hours’ drive from Edinburgh.
Blood of My Blood filming locations in Glasgow
Park Terrace (the London street)
Park Terrace, was used as the London street where Henry Beauchamp lives. It’s a real residential area, so visitors should be respectful, but the architecture is identical to what you saw on screen. Park Terrace is a 10-minute walk from Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
Park Circus (Julia’s flat)
Park Circus, the elegant Victorian crescent next to Park Terrace, was used as the exterior of Julia Moriston’s London flat. 5 minutes from Park Terrace.
Kelvingrove Park Garden Steps (Henry and Julia’s first kiss)
Henry returns from the trenches of the First World War, and after months of letters Julia waits for him at the top of a set of garden steps in London. In real life, those steps are in Kelvingrove Park, just south of Park Circus in Glasgow’s West End. Look for the elaborate flight of garden stairs leading up from the park towards Park Terrace.
Other Glasgow streets
Road closure notices from the 2024 shoot also listed Woodlands Terrace, next to Park Circus, and Balmoral Street in Scotstoun. It isn’t clear which scenes were filmed there.
Blood of My Blood season two locations
Season two premiered on 18 September 2026 and runs weekly until 20 November. Confirmed locations so far are Doune Castle (Castle Leoch), Balvaird Castle (Castle Leathers), Kinloch Rannoch (Craigh na Dun), Culross, and Blackness Castle, which is new for the prequel.
Still to be identified are the Inverness asylum where Henry wakes in 1924 and the home of Reverend Wakefield and Mrs Graham. With the season building towards the 1715 Rising and the Battle of Sheriffmuir, expect battlefield and encampment locations too. Brian and Ellen’s move to Lallybroch hasn’t happened on screen yet, so Midhope Castle remains “expected” for now.
How to plan a Blood of My Blood filming locations tour
Most of the prequel’s locations sit within an hour’s drive of Edinburgh or Glasgow, which makes a road trip realistic.
- One day from Edinburgh: Hire a car. Drive west to Midhope Castle (Lallybroch). Continue to Blackness Castle. Lunch in Linlithgow. Afternoon at Doune Castle (Castle Leoch) and Bannockburn House (book the guided tour in advance). Home via Stirling.
- Two days from Edinburgh: Day one as above. Day two: cross the Queensferry Crossing into Fife, drive through Culross (Cranesmuir and Nairn Palace), then continue east to Melville House near Letham. Continue north to Balvaird Castle in Perthshire, then home via Perth.
- A long weekend: Edinburgh base, two days as above, then a third day in Glasgow walking the Park District, Park Circus, Park Terrace and Kelvingrove Park. Lunch in the West End. Afternoon at Kelvingrove Art Gallery.
- A week: As above, plus a Highland leg: drive north from Stirling to Comrie for the Blood of My Blood bridge on the Glenartney Estate (Brian and Ellen’s first meeting), then continue north-west to Kinloch Rannoch for Craigh na Dun, and west to Loch Lomond for Luss village.

What's the difference between Outlander and Blood of My Blood filming locations?
The two shows share several core locations. Doune Castle is Castle Leoch in both shows. Midhope Castle is Lallybroch in both. Culross, Blackness Castle and Kinloch Rannoch (Craigh na Dun) are used in both series. Blood of My Blood adds new locations: Balvaird Castle as Castle Leathers, Bannockburn House as Lady Nairn’s home, Melville House as the Grant residence, Kilbride Castle Chapel, and Glasgow’s Park District as London.
Can you go inside any Blood of My Blood filming locations?
