18th Century Jacobite history, the Scottish Highlands and timeless love all have one thing in common - Outlander. 

Outlander's author, Diana Gabaldon, published her first book in 1991 and now, eight books, 26 million copies and one series later, fans eagerly await the second series to unfold on the small screen.

With both the Kingsmills Hotel and Outlander set in Inverness, Kingsmills has partnered with WOW Scotland Tours who provide a very unique Outlander-inspired Tour.

Gordon Pearson, Owner of WOW Scotland Tours said:
"Our Outlander-inspired tour lets visitors experience fascinating historical sights linked to the Fraser and Mackenzie clans, and the Jacobite period.  These sights include Culloden Battlefield, Clava Cairns (look out for the famous split stone!), Castle Leoch and Beauly Priory, as well as a few hidden highlights, including an up-close-and-personal visit to the crypt of Jamie Fraser's real-life grandfather.  For those who are not such avid Outlander fans, the tour provides a great introduction to the Highlands, with its breathtakingly romantic scenery and captivating history. 

"We are delighted to be working in partnership with the Kingsmills Hotel to enable visitors to Inverness to enjoy a fantastic tour and accommodation experience.

Director of Sales at Kingsmills Hotel, Joyce Arbuckle said:
“We are delighted to be partnered with WOW Scotland Tours - Gordon's knowledge of Outlander is outstanding.

“We really wanted something extra special to excite our guests given we have a lot of international visitors from America, Germany and further afield.

The tour takes guests through some of the most breath-taking scenery in Scotland so it's a great adventure – regardless of whether you're an Outlander fan or not!”

Gabaldon, by her own admission, set Outlander in Scotland, Inverness after seeing a man in a kilt in an old episode of Doctor Who.

The Kingsmills Hotel is currently accepting bookings for the Outlander Inspired Tour on a first come first served basis.
