Ever since Outlander debuted on Starz in 2014, fans around the world have been making the pilgrimage to the Scottish Highlands to visit the real-life locations used in the TV show. Some of them are even lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time and catch an episode being filmed. (Spoiler alert: that didn't happen to me.) This past Fall, my best friend and I made our way to Scotland and took a day-long guided Outlander set tour to see six locations from the show. We saw centuries-old castles, sleepy little towns, and sweeping architecture that tells stories of age-old Scotland. Scroll through for a glimpse at the real-life scenery used in Outlander, and consider booking your own trip to the Highlands soon. You certainly won't regret it.
