Filming Locations of Scotland Private Tour

A private, guided, small group tour is undoubtedly one of the safest ways to travel in these uncertain times. We have reacted to the current outbreak to ensure our guests are kept safe while still getting the opportunity to explore our fantastic country in the luxury and comfort of our private guided tours. Below are a list of the actions and extra precautions we have taken to ensure the safety and comfort of all of our guests.

• Vehicle Hygiene: Our vehicle has always been washed before and after any trip but we have now added disinfecting the vehicle internally and externally as part of this cleaning process. Guests will be asked to use hand sanitiser each time they enter the vehicle during the tour.

• Guest Care: Guests will be provided with personal hand sanitiser sprays and individually wrapped face masks for use in the more congested areas outside of the bus.

• Temperature Checks: Our driver will check all guests at the point of pick up with a hand held temperature scanner. Any guests showing signs of a fever will unfortunately be refused entry to the bus. In the event that this results in a cancellation of the tour then a full refund will be provided.

• Maintaining Our Bubble: Our vehicle is equipped with fold down tables and chairs, and so we can enjoy any pit stops while reducing the risk of external contamination. Additionally, our provision of snacks and hot and cold drinks throughout the tour will reduce external contact. Packed lunches can also be provided for a small additional charge.

• Cancellation Policy: To provide peace of mind for all of our guests we have introduced a temporary no quibble full refund for any tour cancellation due to COVID concerns. We ask any guests who show symptoms to follow the government’s advice at that time but also to cancel the tour with as much notice as possible. Tours cancelled with no notice will be charged expenses for travel to and from the point of pick up.

• Good to Go Certificate: Designer Tour Scotland have been certified good to go in partnership with the tourist organizations of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. This certificate will be available to view in the vehicle.

Come on this tour and we will visit these magnificent locations and you will perhaps recognise Winterfell or many of the locations Jamie and Claire Fraser frequented in Outlander, but you will also get the opportunity to explore and discover the real stories behind these locations and who knows maybe you will find that fact is more interesting than fiction.

We will start the day visiting Blackness Castle, Jamie’s prison in Outlander. From there we will move on to Linlithgow Palace another filming location for Outlander and the site of Jamie’s brutal attack but in reality the birth place of Mary Queen of Scots.

From Linlithgow, we will head out to Stirling with the Battle of Bannockburn centre, the Wallace Monument and of course Stirling Castle as we walk in the footsteps of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. We will then head out into Scotland’s beautiful country side to visit Winterfell from the Game of Thrones or Castle Leoch from Outlander. We will finish our silver screen tour with a visit to the resting place of Rob Roy.
