The authentic 17th-century herb garden at Culross Palace showcases the medicinal and culinary plants that would have been essential to household life in Geillis Duncan's era, making it a perfect setting for Outlander's herbal healing storylines. This carefully researched garden features aromatic plants, healing herbs, and traditional vegetables arranged in raised beds using period-appropriate growing methods. The herb garden connects directly to Outlander's themes of traditional Scottish healing practices and the fine line between herbalism and accusations of witchcraft that plagued women like Geillis. Each plant species was selected based on historical records and inventories from similar 17th-century Scottish estates, creating an authentic backdrop for scenes involving traditional medicine. The garden's layout follows formal geometric patterns typical of the period, with crushed shell paths dividing the planted areas in orderly sections. The aromatic qualities of the herbs create a sensory experience that transports visitors directly into the world where Claire's medical knowledge could be mistaken for supernatural powers.
