Is Scotland still getting the benefit of the ” Outlander effect “?
The “Outlander effect” refers to the phenomenon where a popular book series or television show has a significant impact on tourism to the locations where it is set. In some cases the number of visitors to a castle have doubled due to the interest from Outlander fans . It is named after the book series “Outlander” by Diana Gabaldon, which was adapted into a hugely successful television series. The first half of Season 7 of Outlander has been broadcast on television on Starz in the US and Lionsgate in the UK . This phenomenon also occurred back in the 90s when the Braveheart film came out .
Outlander was filmed at a number of ancient castles in Scotland , principally Midhope Castle ( Lallybroch ) and Doune Castle ( Castle leoch )

As the owner of a private tour company with 5 years experience of Outlander tours , the answer to the question has to be a resounding yes – Scotland is definitely still getting the benefit of the ” Outlander effect ”

In the case of “Outlander,” the story is set in various historical and picturesque locations in Scotland , notable Lallybroch ( real life Midhope Castle ) , Jamie Fraser’s ancestral home . The TV series, in particular, showcased the beauty of the Scottish landscape and castles , and this led to a surge in tourism to Scotland, with fans of the show wanting to visit the locations featured in the series.
