VisitScotland keeps its site up to date to make sure you can see and do everything Outlander. There have been seven locations added to the list of sights to see for Season 4 and here they all are with where they were used throughout the fourth season.
Note: This doesn’t include the locations the show returned to in Season 4 that are already part of Outlander tour recommendations.
St. Andrew’s Square, Glasgow
This location is a little trickier to get to if you’re doing an Outlander tour by car. While it’s in the city center and there is parking, the costs of parking can be extortionate and the roads can be a maze. I say this from experience of driving around Glasgow regularly when I lived in the area! I tended to park outside and get public transport in.
However, St. Andrew’s Square is definitely a place to visit. The area is popular for weddings because of the Centre for Scottish Culture. The interior of this building was used as the theater at Wilmington. You’ll also see the exterior of the building in the flashbacks with Frank, when he and Brianna discuss heading to England.
Arniston House, Midlothian
Arniston House was used as the front for the theater in Wilmington. It was also used for the lobby, helping to add a little more authenticity to the style of location. However, the actual theater scenes were done in St. Andrew’s Square’s Centre of Scottish Culture.
The property has been in the Dundas Family for more than 400 years and is just 11 miles from Edinburgh. It is open to the public for an admission cost but only on certain days. You’ll want to check out the official Arniston House website for more details.
Dunkeld House Hotel, Perthshire
Overlook the beautiful River Tay at Dunkeld House Hotel, which was used as the wilderness for Jamie, Claire, and Young Ian’s voyage to find Roger. You’ll see the paths traveled, as the three found the body of the sold man and buried him out of respect.
The whole area is free to visit throughout the year. Of course, if you’re planning on staying at the hotel then that’s a different matter! The River Tay is a popular location for salmon fishing and, depending on the time of year you visit, you may see fishers out and about!
Calderglen Country Park, South Lanarkshire
One of my favorite locations when living in Scotland was Calderglen Country Park. It’s perfect to allow the kids to run around, there’s a zoo to visit (for a small fee), and, of course, there’s Torrance House that you can visit on days that it’s open. Located in East Kilbride, it’s only about 30 minutes from Glasgow City Center.
But what was it used for during Season 4? This was the place Willie and Jamie went hunting. You’ll get to see the wooded area that they camped, as well as the location Willie’s life was put in danger because of his somewhat brattish (he was spoiled but he was also at that age he thought he knew better!) ways.
Beecraigs Country Park, West Lothian
When Claire and Jamie left River Run, they went through a forest area. In the end, they found their home — although this isn’t where you’ll find Fraser’s Ridge! Instead, this was the part where Claire and Jamie went through the thunderstorm. You’ll be able to find the ground haunted by Otter Tooth.
The park is open throughout the year and free to the public. You can see Beecraigs Loch, which is perfect for fly fishing, and go through the adventure play area with the kids. You’ll also see a variety of local wildlife, including red deer and Highland cattle! This is certainly a perfect place for some downtime during your Outlander tour.
Newhailes House, East Lothian
A number of new buildings had to be found for Outlander Season 4 and one of those was the 17th-century Palladian villa of Newhailes House. It became Governor Tryon’s home in North Carolina when he and Jamie discussed everything involving the land grant in exchange for Jamie’s loyalty to the British Crown. This was also the place Jamie and Claire were introduced to the society at Wilmington.
You can head to the estates throughout the year. However, entry to the house is only during specific times at an admission price. There are guided tours throughout, which will likely now include mentions of the series.
Gray Buchanan Park, Polmont by Falkirk
Gray Buchanan Park is also known as Parkhill to the local people and is the location for the beginning of Outlander Season 4. This is where Sam Heughan and John Bell shot the scenes for when Jamie and Young Ian buried Gavin Hayes after being hanged in Charleston.
There is no actual graveyard in the park. This was added in by the crew, but you can see the surrounding areas from the scene. It’s a beautiful location, open throughout the year and is completely free to visit.
