Outlander season 7 was filmed in multiple locations in Scotland
Edinburgh News reveals that the majority of season 7 of the show was shot in Scotland.
Scotland is the second-largest country in the United Kingdom. Known for its rich historical heritage, lively culture, stunning landscape, and architecture, the country attracts millions of tourists from around the world annually. It was revealed that Sam Heughan, who plays the fan-favorite character Jamie Fraser, was spotted filming some major scenes for the upcoming season of the show at Burntisland's East Dock.
Burntisland is a burgh in Fife, Scotland, and is located on the Firth of Forth. The place is known for its beautiful beaches and its exquisite and lavish castles that provide the perfect location for the historical fiction aesthetic that the show is known for.
Some other locations in Scotland that the show will feature this time were revealed by writer Phoebe Taplin in an interview with Express.co.uk.
“Well, I know they’ve been back in Kinloch Rannoch and some other old fafavoriteaunts like Lallybroch (which is actually little Midhope Castle near Hopetoun house – they were filming season seven there last time I visited)," she said.
“And there’s been filming on the East Lothian coast and in Pollok Park in Glasgow and at new locations like Duncarron Medieval Fort, about 10 miles south of Stirling. It’s a reconstructed medieval fort and village of roundhouses, which is not very often open, but apparently they’ve got the battering ram from the Russell Crowe Robin Hood there," Phoebe continued.
The writer, in addition to these locations also revealed that the upcoming season of Outlander was briefly also shot in England. She said that the filming took place in Chester near the city walls.
Chester is a cathedral city and the county town of Cheshire, England. The city was an important location for the Ancient Romans and therefore boasts numerous sandstone wall buildings, beautiful castles, and world-renowned museums.
