River Teith at Doune

Doune Castle (see previous post) is built on a promontory just above the River Teith. The river’s banks are pretty overgrown now so it’s not easy to see the river till you get quite close to it.

It must be fine for fishing though as there was an angler there the day we visited:-

The Teith flows on to join with the River Forth just upstream of Stirling. Curiously, the Teith is the wider river at this point but the merged river is called the Forth.

Doune Castle (i)

Doune Castle is in Doune, Stirlingshire. It has been used for filming Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Outlander.

We visit Doune quite a lot as it has an antique centre near by. One day we took the opportunity to have a look at the castle.

It’s possible to walk right round the outside of the castle, though the path dips a bit:-
