PRESTON MILL
Outlander Vibes at Preston Mill
Question: “Hi, I'm a huge fan of the Outlander show and I'm curious if you know a cool spot near Edinburgh that gives off that Outlander vibe?”
Head to Preston Mill!
Just 40 mins from Edinburgh, this picturesque watermill was featured in Outlander Season 1, not once but twice!
Remember the tense scene at Lallybroch where Jamie's fixing the mill wheel and Redcoats show up? 😲 That's Preston Mill! He even hides underwater while Jenny and Claire distract the soldiers. 💦
The mill's exhibition room also doubled as a court ante-room, where Claire and Geillis faced accusations of witchcraft! 🧙♀️
But even beyond its Outlander fame, Preston Mill is a gem. It's one of Scotland's oldest working meal mills, nestled by the River Tyne near East Linton.
The real star is the kiln – its conical roof is so unique and picturesque, it's like something out of a fairytale! Artists have been painting it for centuries, and you'll see why.
