Explore the historic ancestral home, the 150 acres of gardens surrounding the house, the magnificent architecture or relax in the licensed tearoom. As a five star Visitor Attraction, Hopetoun is the perfect location to visit, take part in outdoor activities or as an exceptional hospitality venue.
Hopetoun will be a familiar sight for Outlander viewers as it was used for several scenes from seasons 1 to 3. An Outlander location map is available to find all the areas used.
