Dysart Harbour featured in series 2 of Outlander. It’s really easy to visit from Edinburgh by train and bike. There are plenty of other things to see on this trip including Ravenscraig Castle and the gorgeous white houses of Pan Ha’.

In this video, I visit Daert Harbor in F, the harbor featured in season 2 of Outlander. It’s no surprise the harbor was used as a filming location. It’s really pretty here. To get to the harbor, you have to travel to Kcotti, which takes about 45 minutes by train from Edinburgh. If you follow my cycling route, it’s about 3.7 mi to Daert. This route takes you by some interesting sites. After arriving in Kcotti, you want to head down to the trafficfree prominade and then on to Paththead sands. This is a gorgeous pebble beach. Take a walk and enjoy the sound of the waves. In Scotland, even in an urban location, you’re never far from somewhere beautiful. From here, you get a great view of Raven’s Craig Castle. Although the castle is mostly a ruin, it’s an impressive site. It has two huge D-shaped towers and a bridge over a defensive ditch. The castle sits in Raven’s Craig Park. Its combination of coastal views, forest, and plenty of green space makes it one of Scotland’s great urban parks. A good quality path takes you through the park to get to Daert. Here we are at Daert Harbor. The building that overlooks the harbor is a harbor master’s cafe. It’s a lovely place to have lunch. Today, the harbor is used by Pleasure Craft, although it did operate commercially until 1929. Daert has a row of 16th century white houses called Panha. They have names that are evocative of their location. There’s the shorem’s house, the tide waiter’s house, and the pilot’s house. Walking among these lovely houses was my favorite part of this trip. So, this is a great little day trip from Edinburgh. A train ride and a few miles of cycling brings you to these lovely coastal locations. Thanks for watching.
