“#Where Is ‘Outlander’ Really Filmed? 8 Locations Unveiled”
Location is everything when telling this time-bending tale, and Outlander has made great use of various spots to stand in for other famous facades. Transcending time and location, the show has carried its characters across the globe to tell stories set in Scotland, France, Jamaica, America and beyond.

Below, we’re breaking down where some scenes were shot versus where they were really meant to take place.
See how these spots were utilized to bring Jamie and Claire’s story to screens, and check them out for yourselves by revisiting episodes on the Starz app and Netflix now!
