Castles, Lochs & Highland Adventures

Our first stop is Doune - a well preserved 14th century castle, set amid the lovely Stirlingshire countryside. Here you can take an audio tour of the Castle* narrated by Monty Python's Terry Jones and hear the exciting history of the medieval castle and it's residents. Doune Castle is the atmospheric stand-in for the fictional Castle Leoch in the TV show Outlander and can also be seen as a film location in Game of Thrones.
