Outlander Tour of Scotland 2016 - Falkland


This Missing Poster was in a shop window down a side street in Falkland -- just for the Outlander visitors who would "get it."  Falkland is the little Scottish town where they filmed the scenes of Claire and Frank taking some time off after the war in Inverness -- but because Inverness is now so built up and modern, it's difficult to find a quaint retro place like it used to be.  Enter Falkland.

In July/August of 2016, I took a wonderful Outlander Tour by Visit Scotland, where we visited many sites relative to the novels and the filming of the Starz tv series.   It's a quaint little town, easy to walk around and explore.  Here are some of the sites :


 The Covenanter Hotel in Falkland - used for filming Claire and Frank's getaway reunion, and the town near where Claire disappears.


 Church of Falkland with blue and white skies emplematic of the Scottish flag.

 Scottish Textures - Cobblestones

 A door matt -- Interesting textures for quilting?

 Flowers at Gate in Falkland

 Black Cat in Falkland


 Scottish Textures - Rusty stone

 I thought this sign was amusing.  ;-) 
Wondering of someone picked off that particular "o" on purpose?
 And because I'm a Librarian by trade, I like to visit libraries when I travel.  
Call it a pilgrimage.

 Castle Palace at Falkland - where Mary Queen of Scotts Father died.

 Campbell's shop in downtown Falkland - for Janna
