Culross Palace is one of the most popular and used Outlander filming locations. The Palace itself was built between 1597 and 1611 by Sir George Bruce, the Laird of Carnock. Built using materials from his foreign trading it never became an official royal residence however it was visited by King James VI in 1617.
Culross Palace was used in Outlander seasons 1, 2 and 4. First used in season 1 when the Palace gardens are used as the herb garden of Castle Leoch. Shortly after that, the Withdrawing Room is used as Geillis Duncan’s parlour.
In season 2 the courtyard and main stairway were used as the village encampment where Claire pulls a tooth from a local woman and Murtagh waits on Jamie who has a meeting with the Prince. The Palace High Hall was used for the Jacobite meeting which is where Jamie swears his oath to Prince Charlie.
The Palace’s King Room was used for a bedroom scene when Jamie and Claire visit a village. The Palace’s Kitchen and Pantry was also used as a tavern.
Returning for season 4, Outlander made good use of the palace rooms once more, this time playing the part of the inside of Laoghaire’s home with the exterior being filmed just up the road at Mercat Cross.
