Doune Castle History | Scotland | 4K

I got to visit this great castle this past August. My trip to Scotland was a trip of a lifetime and visiting Doune castle was one of the high points. I'll be back in a couple years and I can't wait.

We visited this castle last week on our tour of Scotland

To @robertlinscott, thanks for sharing your story! That is amazing that you played in such an old and famous castle. I was in Scotland several years ago. It is such a beautiful place. The people were so friendly and nice. God bless.

Interestingly, in the Army Messes we still have a call to dinner. We get a half hour call and then 15 mins. Played by a bugle. Half hour to finish drinks and ladies to the loos and 15 minutes for the men to sort out who they will be escorting into dinner. One never sits next to ones husband.

Cool.

Doune, doone or doon means hill fort or castle on a hill. How do I know this? Because I am called Doone

Margaret Graham, Countess of Menteith, my 22nd great grandmother was born at Doune Castle, Stirlingshire, Scotland. Seeing videos like this makes me want to go there.

Was the castle located on a site that provided a military advantage. Were the walls originally plastered and painted with illustrations? Was the metal screening on the windows original? What was roof made of? Was there a village around the castle?

A good account,but the music is too overwhelming…. a shame

I enjoyed this. Thank you so much for wonderful ancient history. Scotland is indeed a beautiful land. Their castles are so well made.

I really enjoy this type of history.
Thank you

Most modern buildings wouldn't last near as long as these castles do. Half of America will decay and fall apart and this building will still be standing. They built these things with longevity in mind for sure.

Loved this and look forward to hearing more.

Thank you for sending me here algo.
Grand footage, well edited and narrated brilliantly. And, this channel will only improve.

Cecil was Lord Privy Seal and Lord Treasurer to Elizabeth -her chief adviser. Francis Walsingham was the spymaster.

I have family in Dunblane about 10 min drive.when I’m home and visiting,I’ll go to Doune castle. Now don’t laugh but I’ll lay down on the ground ,around the outside and I get dreams and intense feelings of deja vu. I had always felt someth8ng around their.I thought I was having a Scottish ancestry rush , but instead my dreams and stuff were as a Roman soldier mercenary. A story in my family was about mercenary in the family deserted the Roman’s and started living local in Ayrshire. Some relations stayed in Scotland and some went to germany. Anyway I’m going home next year can’t wait for another vision. If your in Dunblane, go to the WESTLANDS hotel,it was awesome.

Amazing place

A very nice 👌 home. I'am reincarnated 👑 James of Scotts owner of Buckingham palace and other's.
