Doune Castle located near Stirling, is a stunning 14th-century courtyard castle built by Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, who was the son of Robert the II of Scotland. Originally constructed around 1400, the castle was designed to serve as a royal residence and hunting lodge. Doune Castle played a significant role in Scottish history, witnessing military action during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms and the Jacobite risings. By the 19th century, the castle had fallen into ruin, but it was restored

While it would be difficult to match the real history of Doune Castle - it’s “on-screen” history gives it a good run for its money. Monty Python, Outlander and Game of Thrones have all filmed at Doune Castle among many others! Originally built in the 13th century, Doune Castle was most likely damaged during the Scottish Wars of Independence and rebuilt in its present form in the late 14th century. The man who rebuilt it was Robert Stewart, 1st Duke of Albany and grandson of Robert the Bruce. Alb
