Exploring Scotland – Part 3

One of my Favorite ISTours was the Outlander Castle Tour.  Even if you aren’t a fan of the show, I would recommend going on this tour because the castles are absolutely gorgeous.

First, we visited Dean Castle, which featured as Beaufort Castle in the Outlander series. Dean Castle is one of the rare castles in Scotland that is still in one piece – many of the others having been destroyed by British armies.

After Dean Castle, we traveled to Dunure Castle. Dunure Castle and the surrounding area served as three separate settings in Outlander. While the castle itself is in ruins, the grounds are well cared for with an outdoor maze and miniature bee farm.

Our final castle stop was Dunskey Castle which is set right on the edge of a cliff with beautiful views of the ocean.

On the way home, our tour guide surprised us with a stop at the beach right as the sun began to set – a perfect way to end the day!
