Scotland
Our story begins in Inverness, Scotland’s northernmost city. Frank and Claire spend their second honeymoon at Mrs. Baird’s Bed & Breakfast.
Roger's church, Old High Saint Stephen's Church, is just a few streets away.
The Manse, where Reverend Reginald Wakefield lived, is also close by.
Just across the river and a bit southwest, you'll find Fiona and Ernie Buchan's house.
Claire travels through the stones at Craigh na Dun, likely somewhere around the southern Inverness-shire area.
"I thought there might be a beehive lodged in some crevice of the rock, and placed a hand on the stone in order to lean into the cleft. The stone screamed."
It's a hop, skip, and a jump over to Castle Leoch, home to the MacKenzie clan, led by Jamie's Uncle Colum, and situated approximately in the area noted below.
We pass Cranesmuir and Loch Ness en route to Fort William, where Jamie was flogged by Black Jack Randall.
Jumping out of chronological order for just a moment, it's also in this area that you'll find the nearby Corrimony Cairn, where General Simon Fraser is buried.
Lallybroch, or Broch Tuarach, is the fictional home of the Fraser family, but it was likely located somewhere in this area as well.
Balriggan is where Jamie lived with Laoghaire while the two were married.
Time for a bit of travel—Claire found Jamie imprisoned in the Wentworth Prison.
