“Sing me a song…” about all the locations where Outlander’s latest season was filmed.

With the release of Outlander’s eighth and final season just around the corner – expected at the end of this year or the beginning of 2026 – now is the perfect time to revisit the highlights of season seven. Split into two pieces, this recent season returns to the series’ mythic roots, showcasing many of the iconic Scottish locations where Jamie and Claire’s journey first began.

Nostalgia hangs heavy in the air as the couple, accompanied by their nephew Ian, returns to Lallybrooch, the ancestral home where Jamie was raised. Throughout the season, the travels of our beloved characters unveil the mystical Scottish landscapes we have longed to see again. But not everything is filmed in the wild and fierce British country. The story also visits the United States, where Jamie Fraser fights in the turbulent period of the American Revolutionary War, pulling him away from Claire once more. So pour yourself a glass of the finest whisky and get ready to explore the filming locations of Outlander’s seventh season.

Lallybroch, Edinburgh

A grand stone arch guards the stoic facade of Lallybroch – also known as Broch Tuarach – the ancestral seat and enduring symbol of Clan Fraser. We first saw it in the early episodes, when Jamie returns home as a fugitive. It remains a pivotal situation in the series’ emotional and narrative arc.

The real-life site is Midhope Castle, located about 30 kilometers from Edinburgh. Built in the 16th as a residence for the Earls of Hopetoun, the family later moved to the more opulent Hopetoun House, located on the same estate. Interestingly, that house also served as the interior set for the Duke of Sandringham’s home. A visit to Midhope is highly recommended: while interior access requires a fee, the surrounding natural beauty is spectacular.

Philadelphia, United States

Colonial Philadelphia appears in episode 10, “Brotherly Love,” featuring historical elements like Chestnut Street, the city’s main commercial artery. We see Claire running her errands through its avenues, and it’s there where she reunites with Lord John Grey.

However, these scenes weren’t filmed in the United States. Instead, Liverpool and England doubled as Philadelphia. Its Georgian brick and stone architecture stand in for 18th-century American buildings. In particular, Canning Street plays a starring role, offering an authentic look which matches the era.

Ocrakoke stone circle

Magic is a fundamental element in Outlander, the force connecting the story from beginning to end. Consequently, the series is full of sceneries where reality and fiction seemingly melt together in a unique way, especially in places such as the stone circles.

Despite Craigh Na Dun, near Inverness, being the most popular one for transporting Claire to the past, Outlander introduces us to other time portals, such as Ocracoke. Marked by four standing stones, it is located on a small island off the coast of North Carolina, historically used as fishing and hunting ground by the Indigenous Population. Throughout history, Ocracoke has been inhabited by pirates, colonialists, and, more recently, by residents connected to the boating and fishing industries.

This iconic field, nevertheless, was filmed at John Muir Country Park, at the eastern edge of the John Muir Way, an expansive route which covers southern Scotland while providing magnificent views of the ocean. Thanks to its proximity to Edinburgh and easy accessibility on foot, visiting the park is a great choice for a day trip.

Fort Ticonderoga

Jamie and Claire are hosted at Fort Ticonderoga before the battle and the siege, an emplacement that is actually Duncarron Medieval Village. It is a modern reproduction of a twelfth-century village during the Scottish Middle Age, designed to represent the typical residence of a clan chief. The project aims to promote Scottish culture and heritage, incorporating a collection of realistic replicas of weapons, costumes, and props. Not only is it a fascinating open-air museum, but it also serves as a filming set for shows such as Outlander.

You can now watch Outlander’s seventh season on Netflix.
