Stirling Castle was an extremely important Royal residence for hundreds of years. Close by, in the small town of Doune, is another impressive castle, Doune Castle, with its own bloody history. This castle has shot to fame recently because of the popular Outlander series where Jamie and Claire first meet. Monty Python lovers will also enjoy the story of Doune where the filming took place.

This Podcast journeys from the Trossachs, through Dunblane, and talks of the Battle of Sherrifmuir. We also pass by the Wallace Monument and onto Stirling castle where Robert the Bruce’s statue stands tall and proud looking south to his own famous battleground, Bannockburn.
