Outlander Connection
Midhope Castle is famously known as Lallybroch, the ancestral home of Jamie Fraser, in the popular TV series 'Outlander'. This has made it a pilgrimage site for fans of the show.
Century Origins
While its exact construction date is debated, Midhope Castle is believed to date back to the mid-16th century, showcasing typical Scottish tower house architecture of the period.
Still Inhabited Estate
Although the castle itself is a ruin, it sits on the privately owned Hopetoun Estate, meaning visitors can only access the exterior and surrounding grounds.
Interior Condition
Despite its grand exterior in 'Outlander', the interior of Midhope Castle is largely derelict and unsafe, so visitors are not permitted inside.
