Is Outlander filming at Craigmillar Castle?
Onlookers gathered outside the historic landmark after spotting cameras and microphones yesterday, and said the set looked very familiar to that of hit TV show Outlander.
The programme is based on Diana Gabaldon’s novels and follows the story of a married World War II nurse in 1945, who finds herself transported back to Scotland in 1743.
