Doune Castle, Medieval castle in Stirling, Scotland

The fortress stands on an elevated position near the River Teith, featuring a central courtyard, a great hall, and two principal towers connected by stone walls.

Built between 1361 and 1381, the castle became a royal residence when Duke of Albany Robert Stewart served as regent of Scotland for most of his life.

The great hall measures twenty meters in length and contains multiple levels of rooms that reflect medieval Scottish architectural design and noble lifestyle.

Located 15 kilometers northwest of Stirling, visitors can access the castle daily from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM, with admission tickets including an audio guide.

The castle gained international recognition as a filming location for productions including Game of Thrones, Outlander, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
