Doune Scotland - wikipedia
Doune (Gaelic: An Dłn, 'the fort') is a burgh in the district of Stirling, Scotland, on the River Teith. The town is dominated by Doune Castle, built in the late-14th century. Architecturally it is a mixture of fortress and manor house. Doune was also famous for its manufacture of pistols, but this eventually ceased due to competition. Allegedly a Doune pistol fired the first shot of the American War of Independence. A few scenes from the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail were filmed at Doune Castle.
