2. Doune Castle, Scotland (for "Highland Echoes")

While Outlander still draws crowds, 2024’s historical fantasy "Highland Echoes" gave Scotland's Doune Castle another surge. Ingeniously, the show used the same castle not just as the fictional 'Castle Kerr', but digitally altered its courtyard to serve as a bustling 18th-century Edinburgh market in flashbacks. Visitors now appreciate its versatile architecture, recognizing specific angles from both iconic shows. The thrill lies in peeling back layers of fiction – standing where both Jamie Fraser and "Echoes'" protagonist Alistair faced their respective fates, blurring centuries of on-screen history within its ancient stones.
