Glasgow and Outlander Day Tour Blends Heritage, Art, and Iconic Scottish Landmarks

A full-day excursion from Edinburgh offers visitors a diverse journey through Scotland’s cultural heritage, historic landmarks, and famous filming locations. From meeting the beloved Highland Hairy Coos to exploring medieval architecture and contemporary public art, the tour presents a rich introduction to central Scotland.

The experience begins with a close encounter with Scotland’s iconic Hairy Coos before continuing to Glasgow Cathedral, a remarkable 12th-century landmark renowned for its Gothic architecture and centuries of religious history. Visitors also explore the historic Glasgow Necropolis, enjoy panoramic city views, visit the St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art, and discover Provand's Lordship, the city’s oldest surviving house dating from the 15th century.

The journey continues through Glasgow’s city centre to admire its celebrated mural trail, where striking large-scale artworks add colour and creativity to the urban landscape. Travellers then head east to visit The Kelpies, the world-famous 30-metre-high horse-head sculptures that honour Scotland’s industrial heritage and working horses.

The final stop is Midhope Castle, widely recognised by Outlander fans as Lallybroch, the ancestral home of Jamie Fraser. Combining history, architecture, art, wildlife, and television heritage, the tour delivers a memorable exploration of Scotland’s diverse cultural landscape.
