Glasgow Necropolis 

Located a mile outside Glasgow's city center lies the Necropolis, a 37-acre Victorian cemetery home to around 3,500 tombs. With its ornate architecture and grand view of the Merchant City in the distance, the graveyard easily masquerades as the city of Gotham in The Batman. One of the most famous landmarks in Glasgow, this striking cemetery is not to be missed.

Stirling Castle

Just an hour's train ride from Glasgow, this 11th-century castle is one of Scotland's most significant. Featured in several productions such as Outlander, Outlaw King, and Mary Queen of Scots, the fortress sits high atop a mountain and is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, making it a defensive success in its heyday and a lasting beauty today. 

Seacliff Beach

Four miles outside of the town of North Berwick, this quaint beach can be spotted in the film Mary Queen of Scots and the show The Buccaneers. Once used to home fishing boats, nowadays visitors and locals alike take the water's waves for surfing and dive training.

Rosslyn Chapel

Founded in 1446 by Sir William St Clair, Rosslyn Chapel is just seven miles outside of Edinburgh's city center. Prominently featured in The Da Vinci Code, this breathtaking church is known for its intricate details, such as the carvings found in the "Apprentice Pillar" and the depiction of the story of Bethlehem found on the ceiling in the Lady Chapel.

Doune Castle

Just a stone's throw from Stirling, Doune Castle's formidable walls have seen their fair share of action, from Monty Python's comedic knight battles to Outlander's time-traveling storylines. This one-of-a-kind medieval castle is an easy day trip from Edinburgh—Stirling is just a 45-minute ride away.

Edinburgh

Princes Street in Edinburgh isn't just the city's main shopping street—it's where Trainspotting's Renton and Spud sprinted into movie history with their famous opening chase scene. Stay in the heart of Edinburgh's New Town and admire the beguiling mix of modern city grit and elegant Georgian architecture. The street looks different these days, but you can still feel that raw energy that made the film so iconic.
