Local businesses welcomed the link between Dunkeld and the smash hit show given the growing interest in other small Scottish towns used as filming locations.

Culross in Fife, which feature in season one and four of Outlander, experienced a 58 per cent rise in visitors during 2018.

The town was painted dark grey for filming and then reverted to its original white state once the scenes had been shot.

Season five of Outlander is due to broadcast in February 2020.
