Filming at Doune Castle
Swords clash and cameras roll as Hollywood heads to Doune Castle. Do these stars know that this story has been 2,000 years in the making?
Doune Castle is a magnificent medieval castle built in the 14th century before undergoing a long history of being repaired, rebuilt and ruined, and then remodelled in the 19th century. The area was an important defensive position from much earlier though, with traces of a Roman encampment nearby. The castle is a popular and inspiring filming location.
