Doune Castle

Doune Castle is a large, well-preserved medieval castle situated at the confluence of the River Teith and Ardoch Burn, near the village of Doune in the Stirling council area of Scotland. The castle was built in the late fourteenth century for Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, and regent of Scotland, and its great hall and gatehouse tower survive largely intact. It is perhaps best known internationally as one of the principal filming locations for Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and more recently has been used for the television series Outlander. The castle is in the care of Historic Environment Scotland and is open to the public.
