Outlander filming locations you can visit: The Cloisters at the University of Glasgow

Fans of the hit TV show Outlander have plenty of excuses to visit Scotland, especially when it comes to seeing where their favourite show was filmed. One particular site which isn't that well known is the Cloisters at Glasgow University.

Located at the famous Uni in the city's west end (the second oldest in Scotland), the Cloisters where students graduate – also known as The Undercroft – were used in several scenes in the show. Doubling as 1960s Harvard in Massachussettes (another very famous university), the distinctive fluted columns can be seen in episodes in season 3, when Claire, Bree and Roger are in the future.

The stunning location is dubbed the Robinson Cloisters in Outlander, but are in fact a world away from New England and can be found in Scotland's biggest city close to the famous Byres Road.

Heading down University Avenue you'll come to the Gilbert Scott Building where you'll find this incredible structure which connects the East and West quadrangles and leads inside to the epic Bute Hall, where the graduation ceremonies are held.

Hugely popular with the Instagram generation for a photo shoot, the beautiful interior has not only been used by Outlander but has also appeared in movies such as Cloud Atlas, The Outlaw King and Harry Potter.

In Outlander, it's seen in scenes with Claire and Frank, Bree and Roger (at Frank's memorial) and Bree and Claire.

The Melville Room at the university is also used in the show, appearing in season one when Claire meets Frank's colleagues and again later on when Claire and Bree visit the university.

Close by you'll also find the Hunterian Museum, which dates back to 1807 and is Scotland’s oldest public museum.
