| Doune was one of the most luxurious castles to be built and this
shines through what remains of it today. On the first floor of the north range,
is the Lord's Hall. It is still in use today for private functions and weddings
and has been beautifully renovated. This was the Duke's private hall and did not
communicate with the Great Hall in the adjacent block. The private rooms of
Albany's family were above the main gate, Albany's own inner chamber being
located on the first floor, and his wife's on the floor above. There were
smaller chambers within the projecting tower on the north, and on the upper
floors of the gate-house block. Further rooms for visitors were provided in the
kitchen block. |
