Doune

Doune is situated 13km/8 miles northwest of Stirling, following the A84.

The village was famous in the seventeenth century for the manufacture of pistols, considered the finest in the land at the time, and later became a cotton-manufacturing town, with mills at Deanston on the other side of the River Teith. The Mercat Cross dates from 1620. The Parish Church was built in 1822.

The Ardoch and Annet Burns flow through the Braes of Doune and join the River Teith on either side of the village.

Doune Castle, to the south of the village, sits a promontory between the River Teith and the Ardoch Burn. Kilbryde Castle, about 5km/3 miles north east of Doune, sits on a rocky promontory on the banks of the Ardoch Burn.
