Falkland Palace & Village - Tyndall Bruce Fountain
About This Outlander Filming Location
The ornate Tyndall Bruce Fountain stands as one of Outlander's most iconic and haunting filming locations in Falkland's village square. Built in 1856, this Victorian fountain was the setting for the chilling scene where Frank glimpses Jamie's ghost watching Claire brush her hair in Mrs. Baird's B&B window above. The fountain's elaborate stonework and central position in the square made it the perfect focal point for this supernatural encounter that bridges past and present. This moment established the mystical connection between Jamie and Claire across centuries. The fountain remains largely unchanged since filming, allowing visitors to recreate this memorable scene. With the Covenanter Hotel (Mrs. Baird's B&B) visible in the background, it's a complete Outlander experience in one location. The fountain was named after Margaret Steuart Hamilton Bruce, who inherited Falkland Estate in 1828.
