Where To Visit Jamie's Print Shop In Edinburgh

If you’ve ever watched Outlander, you probably remember the iconic reunion scene between Jamie and Claire in season 3. And if you haven’t… spoiler alert! After 20 years apart, Claire travels back to 18th century Scotland and arrives in Edinburgh, looking for Jamie at his print shop, dubbed Alexander Malcolm’s Print Shop. She seems to easily find it on the cobblestone streets of Edinburgh- but the best part isn’t even in Outlander. It’s that you can also visit the real Outlander filming location of Alexander Malcolm’s! Here’s where to visit Jamie’s print shop in Edinburgh.

Is Jamie’s Print Shop in Edinburgh?

In season three of Outlander, Claire finds Jamie living and working in 1760s Edinburgh, the capitol city of Scotland. With many shows utilizing sets and studios for scenes, you may be wondering: is Jamie’s print shop in Edinburgh? And the answer is yes! It’s actually really easy to find as well. So, where was Jamie’s print shop in Edinburgh?

Jamie’s Print Shop Filming Location

To find where to visit Jamie’s print shop in Edinburgh, you’ll first need to head to the Royal Mile. It’s somewhere you’ll likely already have been exploring in Edinburgh, as it’s the roughly one mile stretch between two major Edinburgh attractions- Edinburgh Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Along the Royal Mile, you’ll find gorgeous cobblestone streets lined with an abundance of pubs, museums, souvenir shops, and more. And just off it lies the real Jamie’s print shop! So- where exactly is it along the Royal Mile?

Jamie’s print shop in Edinburgh is located at Bakehouse Close. As long as you plug ‘Bakehouse Close’ into your maps, you should find it! But just in case, the address of Jamie’s print shop in Edinburgh is Bakehouse Close, 146 Canongate, Edinburgh.

Can You Go In to Jamie’s Print Shop?

Alexander Malcolm’s print shop is unfortunately NOT a real print shop- or a shop at all, for that matter. Bakehouse Close was used to film only the outside scenes- the inside scenes were all in a studio. So, unfortunately, you can’t go in as it is private property. That being said, it’s still worth a visit to see and go up the stairs!

Other Outlander Filming Locations in Edinburgh

I highly recommend visiting Bakehouse Close- especially being that it’s something free to do in the city! But if you’re looking to visit more Outlander filming locations in Edinburgh, there’s a few more you can visit.

The Signet Library: Also featured in season 3 of Outlander, the upper floors of this stunning historic building were used as the Governor’s mansion in Jamaica. Located near St. Giles Cathedral, this neoclassical building is home to the Society of Writers to Her Majesty’s Signet. The best way to visit? Have afternoon tea there!
Tweeddale Court: This courtyard, located just off the Royal Mile, is another season 3 Outlander filming location in Edinburgh! Remember the scene when Jamie and Claire (the day after their reunion), are walking through a market and meet with a now grown-up Fergus? This is Tweeddale Court! It was originally constructed in the 1570s and contains part of the King’s Wall, a defensive wall built to guard Edinburgh in the 1400’s. Stop by for the scenery, then follow in Jamie and Claire’s footsteps to the World’s End pub (yes- it’s real, and located right on the Royal Mile).
Outlander Day Trips From Edinburgh: Care to venture out of the city for more Outlander filming locations? There’s many close by- including the real Lallybroch (Midhope Castle), Castle Mackenzie (Doune Castle), or even 1940’s Inverness (Falkland). Check a few guided Outlander Tours below!
