    Visited Doune Castle many years ago, long before the TV hype. Have a lasting memory of an unusual feature of the building - sadly not shown on the video - on an upper level (laird's bedroom) of a recessed "double bed" space cut directly into the stone walls, which would have had straw or rushes then furs etc laid on the stone surface to make a very comfortable and warm bed, sheltered by the enclosing walls from the cold winter draughts. Havent seen a similar feature elsewhere in other Scottish castles.

      I'm descended from the Earl of Moray (through a bastard child who ran away to the colonies). My kids and I visited Castle Murray (Moray) in Scotland a few years back. We wondered which of our ancestors had wandered those halls when they were in actual use. It puts quite a perspective on your personal history, knowing that your ancestors strolled those halls, participated in intrigue, etc.

      @@judithcovert7594 You should have seen it fifty years ago,as I did when I was young,it was virtually unspoiled. In the last forty years there have been many developments and much has been destroyed. To the best of my knowledge the Culloden development is going through To get a real picture of Culloden its worth reading the late John Prebble's book Culloden.Published about 1970. Alternativlly Dr Tony Pollards Book is a more recent publication.

    Doune Castle was built by Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany (c. 1340 - 3 September 1420), a great grandson of Robert the Bruce. He was my 16th great-grandfather. It is indeed humbling to think my ancestors walked the halls of this castle.

This is the next best thing to being there in person, which those of us in the US can't do yet (i.e., travel). I'm new to this whole Outlander experience as I decided to watch the first season two weeks ago on Netflix while thinking "16 episodes - oh I'll never get through this!" The next thing I knew I reached the end of Season 3 a few days ago! Haha!

Hopefully, I will get to visit this historically wonderful castle and learn more about it's history in the near future.
