In this episode of Travels Unfiltered, we delve into the world of Outlander Day at the Highland Folk Museum, a real gem tucked away in the Scottish countryside. This isn't just any museum; it's a living, breathing time capsule spanning centuries of Scottish history. From recreated homes to workshops, this place oozes authenticity. And if you're an Outlander fan, well, you're in for a treat because this is where some iconic scenes were filmed. Yes, you can stand right where Claire and Jamie once stood, soaking in the atmosphere of the 18th century.
But is Outlander Day all it's cracked up to be? Our intrepid host Desi takes us on a journey through the museum, sharing the highs and lows of the experience. From traditional singing to fabric thumping demonstrations, there's a mix of historical immersion and fan excitement. And let's not forget the Claire cosplayer who could give the real deal a run for her money. However, Desi doesn't hold back in revealing the shortcomings of Outlander Day. While standing on hallowed ground is a thrill, the event itself may not be worth a special trip unless you're a die-hard fan or keen on the scheduled activities.
The true magic of the Highland Folk Museum lies not in its Outlander connections, but in its dedication to preserving history. Founded in 1935, this open-air museum offers a glimpse into the past like no other. With knowledgeable staff ready to share behind-the-scenes stories and interactive exhibits that transport you back in time, it's a history lover's paradise. And let's not forget the Highland cows adding to the charm. While the museum is a definite must-see, Desi advises against rearranging your entire itinerary for Outlander Day alone. Instead, take your time to explore the filming locations, soak in the history, and imagine yourself in a bygone era.
