With numerous museums and landmarks nearby, your evening promises a delightful introduction to Edinburgh’s charm.

Holyroodhouse Palace served as the backdrop for Claire and Jamie’s encounter with Bonnie Prince Charlie, while the World’s End Pub on the Royal Mile is a recognizable spot where they visited. For a taste of luxury, indulge in afternoon tea at the Signet Library, which doubled as the Governor’s mansion in Jamaica. Additionally, consider a day trip to Glasgow to explore Season 3’s locations, representing Boston and Harvard.
