Doune Castle
Doune Castle is a late medieval stronghold near the village of Doune in central Scotland, built in its present form for Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, in the late 14th century. The castle forms an irregular pentagon of high sandstone curtain walls with major ranges on the north and north-west sides enclosing a central courtyard and approached via earthwork defences; its principal components are the rectangular gatehouse (Lord's tower), the Great Hall range and a separate kitchen tower.

The shape it held in its prime.
A compact irregular-pentagon plan of high coursed sandstone rubble curtain walls with lighter stone dressings, enclosing a grassed courtyard with a central circular well. A large rectangular gatehouse (Lord's tower) with a projecting round north‑east turret presides over a long vaulted cobbled entrance passage. West of the gatehouse stands a separate kitchen tower linked to the Great Hall; external stone staircases climb to the upper halls. The castle sits on a wooded riverside bend with steep slopes to east and west.
