Stirling Castle sits on a volcanic rock and guarded the way into the Scottish Highlands for centuries. Mary, Queen of Scots, was crowned here as a baby in 1543.
Doune Castle, about 13 km away, played Castle Leoch in Outlander and Winterfell in the first episode of Game of Thrones. Monty Python and the Holy Grail was filmed there too.
