Outlander fans are being given the chance to photograph some of the most iconic scenes from the hit show.

Inspired by the books of Diana Gabaldon and the hit TV series, the Outlander photography tour takes fans an extensive trip around Scotland.

The tour lasts six days and five nights and will see guests visiting and photographing some of the most iconic locations spotted in Outlander.

However, you do not have to be a professional photographer to take part in this tour.

The tour is led by professional photographer and Midlothian local, James Christie 🧑📸

Fans will enjoy visits to Culross, which doubled as Cranesmuir in the show; Falkland, which was used as Inverness and of course Midhope Castle, which features as Lallybroch, the Fraser family home.

They will even get to indulge in a little afternoon tea in the Signet Library in Edinburgh's Old Town which doubled as the Governor’s Mansion in Jamaica.

It covers the historical areas of Culloden Battlefield, where you'll find the now famous Clan Fraser marker, and Glencoe giving colour and depth to the Scottish clan system and the story of the Jacobite uprising.

James - who has previously photographed David Bowie, Queen and The Who- launched the tour five years ago after an old neighbour encouraged him to read the books whilst having a pint in their local pub.

The 60-year-old said before beginning the tours he hadn't heard of Outlander but is now fully submerged in the Jacobite world after spending several years researching and putting it together.

James hasn't met author Diana Gabaldon or any other Outlander actors yet.

However, she has accepted James' offer to show her around the parts of Scotland that aren't in the hit show.

The Outlander photography tour ranges from £185-£3,000, this includes accommodation, and if necessary, camera equipment.
