Doune Castle

Built for the Regent Albany, Doune Castle is a magnificent late 14th century courtyard castle.

Its most striking feature is the 100ft high gatehouse which includes the splendid Lord's Hall with its musicians' gallery, double fireplace and carved oak screen.

Highlights

  • The views from the battlements – looking down on the fast-flowing River Teith and out towards the Menteith Hills and Ben Lomond.
  • The cathedral-like great hall – one of the best preserved in Scotland.
  • The kitchen and servery – conjure up images of how great banquets were prepared.
