One of Scotland's finest late-medieval strongholds, Doune Castle
stands high on a promontory between the River Teith and the Ardoch
Burn in Perthshire. It is a testament to the power of one nobleman,
Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany. He was known as Scotland's
'uncrowned king', and the castle was one of his main residences in
the late 1300s. For a long time Albany has been credited with the
complete construction of the castle, making Doune a remarkable
example of a medieval fortress built as one man's vision. However,
fresh research is casting new light on Doune Castle, suggesting a
much more complex history dating back to the century before Albany
and beyond.
