Falkland Palace & Village - Bruce Fountain
About This Outlander Filming Location
The historic Tyndall Bruce Fountain, built in 1856, sits majestically in Falkland's village square and serves as one of Outlander's most iconic filming locations. This Victorian fountain is where Frank glimpses Jamie's ghost watching Claire from her bedroom window at Mrs. Baird's B&B in Season 1, Episode 1. The fountain was named after Margaret Steuart Hamilton Bruce, who inherited Falkland in 1828 and became Hereditary Keeper of Falkland Palace. During filming, black rubber was placed over the original red lions to create more muted colors suitable for the 1940s atmosphere. The surrounding cobbled square perfectly captures the essence of 1940s Inverness, making this location central to Claire and Frank's honeymoon scenes. The fountain remains largely unchanged since filming, allowing visitors to recreate this memorable supernatural encounter.
