Scotland Aerial Showreel - Blackness Castle

Blackness Castle, Filming location for Outlander, Outlaw King, Mary Queen of Scots

Standing looking out over the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh is the impressive Blackness Castle, often referred to as 'the ship that never sailed' due to its ship-like shape. This 15th century fortress provides the setting for the Fort William headquarters of Black Jack Randall, as well as featuring in the heart-wrenching scene of Jamie's incarceration.

The whipping scenes in episode 6 of Outlander were filmed at Blackness Castle ( Substitute location for Fort William Castle ) which overlooks the River Forth west of Edinburgh.
Filming location was in the courtyard of the castle to the north east of the centrally placed keep.

The outside of Blackness Castle (with a bit of CGI) appeared in episode 8 of Outlander as Fort William.

I really have enjoyed your series on Outlander historical spots in Scotland. I stumbled upon the show; fell in love with it. Read the books; love it even more. Now I want to visit Scotland whereas, before, I never thought about it. I love history and the show and your vlog has been the best I've seen at bringing the two together. I really appreciate the facts and historical information that you share in your videos and I think you have done a superior job compared to any others. I feel you have made me smarter. :) Bravo and thank you for taking the time to make these! I hope someday I can come across the pond and see them in person. All the best!
