Outlander film set spotted in Fife as Scottish fantasy series begins shooting for new season

Outlander fans in Fife were given an extra-special treat as the stars of the StarzTV show were in town to film for the new season of the programme.

The series has visited Fife this week to film for Outlander, season seven, as fans flocked to the shooting scene to snap some photos of the actors and actresses. One fan posted the photos into a popular Outlander Facebook community page with the caption: "Series 7 filming today. Just caught sight of Brianna!"

British actress Sophie Alexandra Skelton was spotted on the Outlander set in a large duffle coat and jeans, playing the role of Brianna Fraser in the show. Fans flocked to the comments of this Facebook post to share their excitement in the new series filming.

One Facebook user wrote: "They gave her Jamie's bangs! Poor lass...". Another said: "Thank you for stalking for us! I love it!"

A third wrote: "Wow! That’s amazing! Where are they filming? I’m really looking forward to next season." The poster replied: "This is in Newmills Fife."

More comments read: "Wow! That's awesome! Love the pictures." And finally, one concluded: "It seems so strange to see her wearing a coat in summer lol I'm in North Carolina were I've lived all my life and it's hot in the 90's, I'd love The colder weather."

This won't be the only Outlander appearance on the east coast however, as Edinburgh Live reported earlier in June that Outlander author Diana Gabaldon will appear at Edinburgh's International Book Festival this year.

Diana will be hosting a talk dedicated to the Scottish fantasy series in the capital during the popular literary festival. The show is titled 'The Outlander Phenomenon', and will take place at Central hall on Tuesday August 23 2022.

This Edinburgh appearance will be Diana's first at the festival since 2014, as she brings the joy of Outlander to the people of the capital. Tickets are on sale here, and are £14 per seat.

The event will also be streamed online for those who may not be able to make it to Edinburgh. Prices for the online section start at just £12 per ticket.

Outlander is available to watch in the UK on Starz Player. The sixth season of the show will air on the same channel in summer 2022.
