Doune Castle is about eight miles northwest of Stirling, Scotland (home of another famous and historic Scottish castle).
Doune Castle is definitely worth a visit, and has gained popularity on the tourist circuit over the last several years due to its use as a setting for the TV series “Outlander” as Castle Leoch.
The castle dates from the 13th century, although much of what we see today dates from the 14th century. It was home to Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, who ruled Scotland for 22 years athough he never crowned as king (he ruled on behalf of other family members who for various reasons were not able to actually rule themselves).
Doune Castle is part of the Historic Environment Scotland pass, which will save you significant money on entry fees if you’re visiting several historic sites during your visit to Scotland.
If you visit Stirling, take a few extra minutes to drive the short distance to Doune Castle!
