🌊🎶 "Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing..." So begins the iconic Skye Boat Song from the opening credits. While the main characters never actually visit Skye in the book or series, the Isle of Skye remains a beloved destination for fans, thanks to this very song and its historical connections to Bonnie Prince Charlie's escape after Culloden.

On 16 April 1746, two worlds collided in Scotland at the Battle of Culloden: the rested and numerically superior troops of the English king faced an army of Jacobites, predominantly Scottish rebels who wanted to bring Prince Charles Stuart to the English throne. The rebels had previously won several victories through daring assaults by the Highlanders. This time, however, the Highlanders' assault was crushed by the iron discipline of the English Redcoats. The battle was decided in just half an hour, but it ended in carnage and the fleeing rebels were mercilessly pursued and executed. This was the beginning of a dark chapter for Scotland, as Scottish culture was now systematically suppressed and even the wearing of tartans (kilts) was banned for decades.

The magic of Glencoe - a jewel in the Scottish Highlands that may look familiar to you?

While Glencoe itself is not directly featured in a film scene, the stunning landscape is a constant companion in the Outlander title picture and opening credits, among others.

Near this stunning location is the Glenfinnan Monument, where Bonnie Prince Charlie raised the standard in August 1745 at the start of the Second Jacobite Revolt.
