It is regarded as one of the most important locations in the Outlander series, but this area of Edinburgh is virtually unknown and considered to be a hidden gem of the capital.
As reported by the Daily Record, Bakehouse Close in Edinburgh may not make the list for the largest, most extravagant filming locations in Scotland, but it sure is important to the plot of the show and the fans.
Situated in the heart of the neighbourhood of Old Town in Edinburgh, the back alley of Bakehouse Close is a true representation of how the capital was in the past, and is ideal for the filming of the Scottish television series.

So, why is this scene, and the location, so important? We've broken it down for you here:
The close, deeply rich in history, also doubles as Carfax Close, where main character Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) is working under his new persona at Alexander Malcom's print shop.
This is where Claire (Caitriona Balfe) discovers the sign, and that reunion occurs.
Claire finally reunites with Jamie here, after 20 years apart as she returns to the future, in a pivotal scene in the show.
This is regarded as one of the most important scenes, not only for Claire and Jamie, but for the entire series, as it expertly captures the humour, warmth and of course, deep abiding love between the two.
Bakehouse Close is just off the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, and is regarded as a perfect example of how Edinburgh would have looked 400 years past.
It is one of the several closes that peel off from the Royal Mile, and these areas are a constant reminder of the city of old.
Close is a Scots word usually used for alleyways, courts and wynds, and each of these areas in Edinburgh were given names related to a person, profession or location, with famous examples being Old Fishmarket Close, Mary King's Close and Fleshmarket Close.
Parts of Bakehouse Close date back to the 16th century, and was originally known to be one of the seedier lanes in the city with the resident Cock and Trumpet Tavern considered to be a legendary haunt back in the day.
The Trumpet Tavern was, according to Atlas Obscura, often frequented by the likes of famous Sots writer Robert Louis Stevenson.
The stairs and doorway used in A. Malcolm can be seen, though they aren't covered by a wooden shelter like they were during filming, the door used as the print shop door can also be seen.
If you would like to visit, Bakehouse Close can be found just off the Canongate opposite the Canongate Kirk, head towards the Scottish Parliament Building from the Edinburgh Castle end of the Royal Mile.
It's located next to The Museum of Edinburgh and across the street from New Calton Burial Ground.
