About This Outlander Filming Location

Culross Palace & Village - Palace Courtyard forms part of the authentic 17th-century Scottish village that transforms into Cranesmuir in Outlander. This historic location contributes to the atmospheric village setting where Claire Fraser and Geillis Duncan's witch trial storyline unfolds throughout Season 1. The preserved period architecture and cobblestone streets create an authentic backdrop that required minimal set decoration for filming. Each area of Culross Village adds to the complete picture of 18th-century Highland village life, showcasing the world where traditional healing practices could be mistaken for witchcraft. The National Trust for Scotland maintains these locations with historical accuracy, providing visitors with the same authentic atmosphere that made them perfect for Outlander's dramatic scenes. The combination of medieval architecture and coastal setting creates the perfect representation of a Scottish burgh where community tensions and supernatural suspicions could flourish.
