Outlander at Hopetoun
Hopetoun has played host to 18 filming locations throughout Seasons 1, 2, 3 & 7b of Outlander — and for 2026, we’ve added new scenes to the tour for returning fans to discover.
From ornate Georgian interiors to sweeping Scottish landscapes, Hopetoun’s architecture allowed it to convincingly transform into multiple countries and estates across different time periods.
Throughout the series, Hopetoun has portrayed a wide variety of settings, including:
– The Duke of Sandringham’s Residence
– Jared’s Townhouse – Jamie & Claire’s Paris Residence
– The Hawkins Estate France – Mary Hawkins Uncle Silas Residence
– Façade of Maison de Mademoiselle Elise
– Lord Dunsany Residence – Helwater, England
– Façade of the Ellesmere Estate
– Harold ‘Hal’ Grey’s Westminster Office (New for 2026)
Visitors can explore many of the locations used during filming. Knowledgeable guides within Hopetoun House are happy to help direct you to specific scenes shot inside the house, and visitor maps highlight the external filming locations throughout the grounds.

On the wider Estate visitors can also visit Midhope Castle aka Lallybroch.

Due to our remote location in open countryside and that we are not served by public transport, we suggest you visit one of the many tours available or your own transport. If you do decide to visit using a taxi or UBER, please ask your driver if they are willing to wait for you as it is very difficult to get a taxi at Midhope Castle. As we are an outside experience please dress for the Scottish weather. We also ask visitors to adhere to our guidelines which can be accessed here.
Due to Midhope Castle's location on a private part of our Estate we often have to prohibit access to visitors due to filming, farming operations, estate activities or large public events in the surrounding area.
