There is definitely no let up in efforts from the Outlander cast and crew. Hard at work as ever, they’ve recently been seen filming in both Pollok Park and on the Gartshore Estate, near Twechar.
We’ve had some advance warning of the filming scheduled for Pollok Park. Being a popular park in Glasgow, it was difficult for local fans to miss the posted notices about proposed work. So, as expected, there were plenty of reports and photographs of preparations for filming. First to show us evidence of preparations was Come See Scotland, who showed us tented structures that they understood was to represent a scene set in the 1960s.
@OutlanderLocs reliably informed that filming for Outlander was being set up near to Pollok House on Sunday 16th April. Believe it is for Season 4 in 1960s. pic.twitter.com/1EYCjyld0o

Further findings agreed with the time period being the sixties. The cars seen parked around the set were obviously from that time period, and remove any doubt about where it’s meant to represent, i.e. the USA.

At the same time, filming was going on at the Gartshore Estate, between Twechar and Croy. Possibly a bit more dramatic than the scenes being filmed in Pollok, the fire brigade were on hand for what one fan told us could be an “explosive” event. From the look of photos posted on Twitter, it definitely seems some drama should be expected in season 4.
