Midhope Castle rated UK's second most talked about filming location

Midhope Castle, located on the Hopetoun House estate in West Lothian, has recently gained a worldwide audience from featuring in the hit TV show Outlander. The exterior of the castle  was used as the Frasers family home in the show, and has received a growing amount of visitors since. 

Research carried out for holidaycottages.co.uk analysed reviews for top locations which featured in TV or Films across the UK, and identified West Lothian's own Midhope Castle as receiving the second highest amount of references to Outlander in reviews - with 84.3% of these featuring a reference to Outlander - narrowly behind  St Mary's Church in England which featured in Downton Abbey.

Midhope Castle was rated the highest in Scotland as a result of this by over 30%.
