Viac o knihe

This travel guide explores the stunning locations featured in the popular TV series and books by Diana Gabaldon. Since its adaptation by Sony Pictures in 2014, filming in Scotland has significantly boosted Outlander tourism, with visitor numbers to sites like Doune Castle and Culross Palace doubling or even tripling. A majority of fans hail from the US, followed by Spain, Germany, France, and Italy. The phenomenon of film tourism, or "set-jetting," has greatly impacted the travel industry, with a report from VisitBritain indicating that 78% of respondents are interested in visiting TV or film locations while on holiday. Drawing from the author's travels and thorough research, this guide features over 80 locations from seasons 1 to 5, including three driving tours that showcase grand castles, serene lochs, expansive glens, battlefields, and medieval villages. Compiled with assistance from the tourist board and Scottish venues, it includes stunning photography, making it appealing not only to Outlander enthusiasts but also to anyone interested in Scotland's rich Jacobite history.
