Overview

Are you a fan of Outlander? Is Jamie the man of your dreams? And are you into Scottish history, culture and stories? Then this is the perfect self-guided tour for you! Explore the lovely city of Inverness, narrated by Alex who is a literary historian. This enables me to give you both, the story of Claire and Jamie and the stories behind it, actual historical facts. Learn which places are mentioned in the novels and what their significance is, where Diana Gabaldon's inspiration came from, why the series is not actually filmed in Inverness and how Outlander is considered in the academic world. I share my personal views and analyses of the series with you and have tons of real historic events to explore with you that help you dive deeper into Jamie and Claire's world. We are following Claire's footsteps along the High Street, making our way up to the castle where I will tell you about Flora MacDonald. Along the shores of the River Ness I will give you insight into why so many Scots emigrated to the Americas and Eastern Canada after the Jacobite Rebellion failed. We will explore the stories behind various myths told throughout the Outlander novels, feel like a wounded Jacobite soldier after the tragic Battle of Culloden and hear about a seer who influenced an entire storyline in Diana Gabaldon’s books. This tour is great for any fan, whether you come to Outlander by screen or page, or you might not even have heard about it. Welcome to Alex’s self-guided tour. Get ready to start exploring Outlander in Inverness.
