Doune: Castle Doune: Castle Historic Scotland

Description


The castle has been central to Scottish history, being home to the Duke of Albany who was the power behind the throne of three successive Scots kings. In more recent times the castle became synonymous with Trojan Rabbits and Holy Grails as it was used for much of the filming of the Monty Python film. The audio guide is presented by former Python Terry Jones and along with a large amount of information on the Castle and the Duke of Albany it also has a fair amount of information about the filming.
