Love it, great little castle with a charming tour. I'm a big fan of Monty Python so it was neat to see the castle in person. They were also promoting the Outlander TV show, which I haven't seen, so I guess if you're a fan of either show, it's worth a visit!

Doune castle was the smallest castle we went to, but it was one of the best. Your were able to better see what a medieval castle look like and explore more of the types of rooms than the some of the bigger castles. The audio tour box and headset was included with the price of the ticket and not an extra charge. If you are a Monty Python Flying Circus - Se reach for the Holy Grail and Outlander fan, Both were filmed at Doune castle, Terry Jones from Monty Python fame narrated the audio tour with special sections on search for the Holly Grail. One of the stars from Outlander narrated their section. Well worth the time and money

We were driving home from a weekend away and saw this place, decided to stop here. Glad we did, this castle is amazing. Monty Python and Game Of Thrones, it was brilliant.

Quite a spectacular site with good parking and services. If you're interested in history it's well worth taking the audio tour. The only downside was the omission of any Game of Thrones references, though the funny jokes and Monty Python references really weighed that up.

Excellent castle to visit. Liked the whole experience. Reasonable admission price use of free audio guide.
