TheLandCon Scotland 2 has been officially confirmed to take place on July 16, 17, and 18, 2027, in Edinburgh — and the Outlander fandom is going crazy!

Although the event hasn’t yet appeared on the official Facebook page because the platform doesn’t allow creating events too early, the first names of attendees have already sent fans into a frenzy.

David Berrytor has now been confirmed to be attending — kicking off what is predicted to be an incredibly explosive reunion.

While Outlander is nearing its end after more than a decade of dominating the historical romance television genre, the global fan community has just received news that has caused an emotional outburst on social media: TheLandCon Scotland 2 has been officially announced to take place on July 16, 17, and 18, 2027, in Edinburgh, Scotland. The name Edinburgh alone is enough to make many long-time Outlander viewers feel like a circle of memories is closing — because it’s not just a city, but a part of the soul of Fraser’s world for many years.

What’s special is that this announcement came quite quietly, almost without the usual high-profile promotion of international conventions. According to the organizers, the event couldn’t even create an official event on Facebook because the platform doesn’t allow scheduling more than a year in advance. But a brief update confirming the event will return in the summer of 2027 was enough to instantly stir up the global Outlander fan community.

To date, the first two names confirmed to participate are David Berry — who played Lord John Grey — and César Domboy, the actor best known for portraying the adult Fergus Fraser. For the Outlander fandom, this is more than just a guest list. It seems like the first sign that the world of Outlander hasn’t truly disappeared, even as the television series enters its final chapter.

In recent years, Outlander-related fan conventions have become a very special cultural phenomenon. Unlike many other fandoms that focus on new trailers or spoilers for the next episode, the Outlander community has increasingly shifted towards “keeping memories alive.” As the series nears its end, conventions are no longer simply places to meet the actors. They gradually become spaces for thousands of viewers to come together and hold onto a sense of belonging to a world that has accompanied them for over a decade.

And nowhere is more suitable for that than Scotland.

Throughout Outlander’s journey, Scotland has never been just a setting. The misty fields, the Highlands hills, the ancient stone castles, and the quaint streets of Edinburgh have almost become living characters in the series. Therefore, TheLandCon Scotland 2’s return to Edinburgh holds immense symbolic significance for the global fandom.

Many fans have called this the “final pilgrimage” for the Outlander community before the Jamie Fraser era officially ends. While the impact of the final season may have somewhat subsided by 2027, the need to connect with that world will likely persist long after the final episode airs.

Notably, this excitement is heavily focused on characters who were once considered the “silent souls” of Outlander. David Berry and César Domboy aren’t the central stars like Sam Heughan or Caitríona Balfe, but they represent a very different emotional layer of the series: loyalty, loss, and complex family relationships spanning generations.

David Berry’s Lord John Grey has always been one of the most beloved characters due to his exceptional emotional depth. He never truly belonged to the Fraser family, yet he dedicated his life to protecting them. His composure, almost agonizing loyalty, and unnameable love for Jamie Fraser made Lord John a symbol of the repressed emotions in Outlander.

Meanwhile, César Domboy’s Fergus Fraser represents another aspect of the series: the journey of finding family and identity. From an orphaned boy on the streets of Paris to becoming Jamie and Claire’s spiritual son, Fergus embodies the idea that family doesn’t necessarily have to be made by blood.

Perhaps that’s why the fandom’s reaction to the announcement of TheLandCon Scotland 2 was unlike that of a typical convention. Many didn’t talk much about the schedule or tickets. What they talked about most was the feeling of “coming home.”

In thousands of comments on Reddit, Facebook, and international fan forums, many people describe Outlander as “a phase of life” rather than just a television series. Some started watching it in college and are now married. Others weathered the COVID-19 pandemic by binge-watching the entire series. Some found their first group of friends through the Outlander fandom.

That’s what makes conventions like TheLandCon special. They don’t just exist because of the industry’s commercial needs.
