The BBC reality competition Celebrity Traitors, which films in Scotland's Highlands, has drawn renewed interest in the real-world locations used throughout the show. Viewers curious about retracing the footsteps of the celebrity contestants have several accessible options across the region sometimes nicknamed "Traitors Territory".
The show's central location is a castle used as the primary filming base, which has become closely associated with the series since it first aired. While access arrangements vary, several Highland castles in the region offer public tours that allow visitors to see similar architecture and grounds to those featured on screen.
Train travel also features prominently in the show's visual identity, with scenic Highland rail routes offering some of the dramatic landscape shots audiences have come to associate with the series. Several heritage and scenic rail lines in the area give visitors the chance to experience comparable views of lochs, glens and mountains.
An unusual monument in the Highlands has also drawn attention from fans eager to see sites connected to the show's atmosphere, though the specific landmark's name and history are tied closely to local heritage rather than the production itself. Local tourism operators have reported increased interest in Highland excursions since the show's popularity grew.
Visitors planning a trip inspired by the series are encouraged to check seasonal opening times for castles and monuments, as well as timetables for scenic rail services, since access and schedules can vary significantly throughout the year in the Highlands.
