Pollok House's Gardens served as the primary filming location for Castle Leoch's exterior scenes in Outlander, where Claire gathered medicinal herbs and the MacKenzie clan held outdoor ceremonies. These historic gardens, maintained for over 700 years by the Maxwell family, provided the authentic Scottish estate atmosphere essential for the series' Highland scenes. The gardens feature traditional Scottish plantings and period landscaping that required minimal set decoration for filming. Key Outlander scenes filmed here include Claire's herb-gathering sequences that established her role as a healer, children's play scenes, and various clan gathering moments that brought Castle Leoch's grounds to life. The gardens' layout, with their formal areas near the house and wilder sections extending into the parkland, perfectly captured the blend of civilization and Highland wilderness central to the series. The space continues to offer visitors the opportunity to walk where major Outlander scenes were filmed while experiencing authentic 18th-century Scottish estate gardens.
