Old photograph of Midhope Castle, also known as Lallybroch, a 16th century tower house, in Abercorn in West Lothian, Scotland. During the latter 16th century, the castle belonged to Alexander Drummond of Midhope, brother to Robert Drummond of Carnock, Master of Work to the Crown of Scotland. A stone inscribed " AD 1582 MB " commemorates Alexander and his wife Marjory Bruce. Midhope Castle is featured as a location in the Outlander TV series on Starz as the main character, Jamie Fraser's family home. Midhope Castle is the real castle that is portrayed as Lallybroch, and is not in Inverness-shire in the Highlands, as detailed in the book, but actually located between South Queensferry and Linlithgow on the edges of the private Hopetoun Estate, which includes the well known Hopetoun House.
