'Outlander' Season 2 Air Date, Spoiler And More: How Starz Show Change Tourism At Doune Castle?

| By

There is no indication that "Outlander" season 2 air date will be confirmed by Starz anytime soon.

Executive producer Ron Moore only said in a Twitter Q&A a week ago that they targeting March or April.

It will be a while before the historical drama returns to TV if Moore's spoiler on "Outlander" season 2 air date is official. However, for people in Stirling district in Scotland, it is okay. Whether there is "Outlander" or not, they are feeling the fever of the show through surging tourism in the place where the show's famous Castle Leoch is located.

"Historic Scotland revealed that more than 1.8m people visited the country's heritage attractions over the summer," BBC reported.

"Edinburgh Castle also saw record visitor numbers, as did Skara Brae and several other sites."

The report noted that although most of the country recorded notable increase in number of visitors, "Outlander" location Doune Castle had the highest growth.

"The biggest increase was at Doune Castle, which recorded three consequitive record-breaking months with an overall rise in visitor numbers of 44%, to 32,540."

Culture secretary Fiona Hyslop credits the Starz TV series starring Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe for this improvement saying they now attract "visitors on both a UK and international level."

Stephen Duncan, commercial and tourism director at Historic Scotland shares the same sentiment.

"Heritage attractions are a vital element of Scotland's wider tourism offering," he said.

"We've recorded high levels of footfall at our properties including castles, abbeys, a palace, a 5,000 year old village and a military fort."

"Outlander" season 2 air date is a little late if it will be compared to the time it debut last season. The show premiered in August 2014.

For the second season, Jamie and Claire are in France and will meet several royal family members. They are also set for secret mission and about to enter a new chapter with Claire pregnant.
