Tour Scotland Spring and early Summer travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes and drums music, North on the narrow road through the Lomond Hills to the Royal Palace in Falkland village on ancestry visit to Fife. One of the first scenes for Outlander was filmed in the picturesque town of Falkland, which substituted for 1940s Inverness in the Highlands, Falkland is where Claire and Frank stay on their second honeymoon. The Covenanter Hotel feature as Mrs Baird's guesthouse; the Bruce Fountain, where the ghost of Jamie looks up at Claire's room; Lomond Pharmacy which doubles as Campbell's Coffee Shop; and Fayre Earth Gift Shop as Farrell's Hardware and Furniture Store, where Claire stops to look at a vase in the window. The Bruce Fountain is where Claire comes across the ghost of Jamie. Falkland Palace is a royal palace of the Scottish Kings. The palace courtyard is entered through the gatehouse tower at the west end of the South Quarter as shown above. Falkland was a favourite place of Mary Queen of Scots. The Lomond Hills, meaning either beacon hills or bare hills, also known outwith the locality as the Paps of Fife, lie in western central Fife and Perthshire. Beneath the northern slopes of the escarpment lies Falkland Estate, an area of forest, now commercial plantation, where the kings of Scotland would have hunted whilst staying at nearby Falkland Palace.
