Doune Castle today - North Approach

Monty Python's 'Life of Brian' was partly filmed in the castle grounds, and it use to be rumoured that the inspiration for Fawlty Towers came from a stay at one of the local hotels (rumoured but not proven!) used during the filming. Monty Python and The Holy Grail was also filmed in Doune Castle.

Doune has many local shops, bars and hotels, and is well positioned as a base for exploring the Trossachs and Perthshire. Callander and Stirling are within 15 minutes drive, Bridge of Allan is only 10 minutes away and access to the M9 is within 5 minutes.

Worth visiting is the memorial statue to the great soldier Sir David Stirling on the B824 Doune to Bridge of Allan road, near his former family home of Keir House. It records the war-time achievements of Stirling who was the founder of the SAS. Stirling commanded the unit in the African theatre of World War II, where its activities behind enemy lines considerably hindered the activities of the forces of the German General Rommel.
