Always an experience to visit this great, very magnificent church and to be able to experience a mass.

The church and the monastery building are also beautiful. It was surprising to us that the monastery shop operates on a cash register basis, with self-service POS terminals. The best idea is the Mass wine vending machine in front of the church! (Unfortunately, it was raining when we were there, so we couldn't taste Mass wine, but we were enriched with two super high-quality "disposable glasses" that we will not throw them away...! They will serve perfectly as travel glasses for many years.)

Doune Castle

Doune Castle was originally built in the thirteenth century, then probably damaged in the Scottish Wars of Independence, before being rebuilt in its present form in the late 14th century by Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany (c. 1340–1420), the son of King Robert II of Scots, and Regent of Scotland from 1388 until his death. Duke Robert"s stronghold has survived relatively unchanged and complete, and the whole castle was traditionally thought of as the result of a single period of construction at this time. The castle passed to the crown in 1425, when Albany"s son was executed, and was used as a royal hunting lodge and dower house.

In the later 16th century, Doune became the property of the Earls of Moray. The castle saw military action during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms and Glencairn"s rising in the mid-17th century, and during the Jacobite risings of the late 17th century and 18th century.
