Hopetoun House is Scotland's finest stately home and is a place of outstanding natural beauty and has been home to the Hope family since 1699.
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.
