It is not uncommon for Tourist Boards (or whatever they are called now) to encourage such things, think "Herriot Country" ; "Cookson Country" ; "Wordsworth Country"............ etc, etc

Promoting an area is a little different from promoting a specific event. With area promotion you do not get people peering in private house windows and knocking at doors constantly. We did have that latter scenario with Balamory.

Most of the prime Outlander locations are around here, eg. Midhope Castle, Blackness Castle, Hopetoun House, Glencorse Old Kirk, Preston Mill, Abercorn Church, and over the bridge Culross and Falkland.

Don't know that area very well. My grandfather was head gardener at Preston Hall but I do not think there is any connection to Preston Mill.

Bitch.

It's always the smallest ones that ripen first.

We sometimes get crews near here. Filming something that seems popular with some, but have never watched it. Outlander think it's called.

Don't bother. It's awful.

This series is worth a watch.
