Outlander was mainly filmed in and around Halifax and Nine Mile River, Nova Scotia, Canada,  the Viking village itself being built in Nine Mile River.  Some other Nova Scotia filming locations are Oakfield Park and Kinsac Lake according to a recent ChroncleHerald article.  The Website for the Halifax Regional Municipality Mentions that most of the filming in Nova Scotia is outside of the municipality ( a good thing considering the films setting) but it adds that they would be shooting in Kidston Lake Park. 

 

Principal photography took place between October 16th 2006 and January 5th 2007. Additional effects scenes were shot on stages at Fantasy II Film Effects in California.  And some additional photography was apparently done in Mardalsfossen, Norway. 

 

 

 

Little Port, Newfoundland:

 

The opening and closing sequences of the film – which include a funeral in which a Viking ship is set ablaze as a sort of funeral pyre  have been filmed in Little Port , near Lark Harbour in  The Bay of Islands,  Newfoundland, Canada.

Kidston Lake, Rockingstone Park - Halifax, Nova Scotia:

It seems Kidston Lake in Spryfield – a Halifax suburb – has stood in for Kainan's spaceship crash landing site.  Fiery wreckage was strewn on the shore!
