The film and TV tours on this page leave the city for locations in the Highlands. The best known stop is the Glenfinnan Viaduct, which the Hogwarts Express crosses in the Harry Potter films, often combined with Glencoe, Loch Shiel or Fort William. Outlander tours visit castles and places used in the series, with one itinerary pairing them with Stirling Castle and Loch Lomond. A private family tour combines Holy Island with Harry Potter filming locations.
Group tours last about nine to eleven hours. At the time of checking, they were listed from about £54 to £83, with an eight hour Outlander day tour from about £178. Private tours were listed from about £670 to £790 and last eight to twelve hours.
Before you book
The Jacobite steam train that crosses the Glenfinnan Viaduct runs mainly from spring to autumn, so a winter visit is unlikely to include a train on the bridge. The best view of the viaduct is from a hillside path that can be muddy, so wear boots. Several Outlander sites are castles with shorter winter hours, so confirm what is open on your date. Book private tours well ahead in summer.
Glasgow film and TV tours: questions
Can I see the Harry Potter viaduct on a day trip from Glasgow?
Yes, several group tours on this page stop at the Glenfinnan Viaduct. They take about eleven hours because of the drive.
Do I need to know Outlander to enjoy these tours?
No. The routes pass through Highland scenery and historic castles that are worth seeing anyway, and the guide fills in the story.
Are there film tours inside Glasgow itself?
The tours on this page are all day trips out of the city. Glasgow's streets have often stood in for other cities on screen, but no city centre film walk was listed when we checked.
