JOINERS DOUNE

Here is a short history on Doune;

Doune, a historic village in Perthshire, Scotland, boasts a rich heritage that spans millennia. Archaeological evidence indicates human habitation in the area for over 4,000 years, with numerous burial mounds and standing stones testifying to its ancient past. Notably, a Bronze Age stone cist was discovered during quarrying activities, containing the remains of a young boy and a small stone axe, linking the site to the early Beaker people.The strategic significance of Doune became evident during the Roman era. In the late 1st century AD, the Romans established a fort near the confluence of the River Teith and the Ardoch Burn, aiming to secure their northern frontier. Excavations have unveiled remnants of this fort, including defensive ditches, a rampart, bread ovens, and a possible hospital, underscoring Doune’s role as a pivotal military outpost during the Roman occupation of Scotland.

The medieval period saw the construction of Doune Castle, a prominent landmark that dominates the village’s landscape. Built in the late 14th century by Robert Stewart, the 1st Duke of Albany and Governor of Scotland, the castle served as a combination of fortress and manor house. Its impressive architecture reflects Albany’s status and the political climate of the time. Over the centuries, the castle functioned as a royal retreat and hunting lodge, hosting monarchs such as Mary, Queen of Scots. In the aftermath of the 1745 Jacobite uprising, the castle was utilized as a prison for captured government troops. By the 19th century, it had fallen into ruin but was subsequently restored and is now managed by Historic Environment Scotland.

In addition to its architectural heritage, Doune gained renown between the 17th and 18th centuries for the manufacture of high-quality pistols. Craftsmen in the village produced intricately decorated firearms that were highly sought after, with some even reaching the hands of European nobility. However, competition from industrial centers like Birmingham eventually led to the decline of this local industry. Today, these pistols are prized by collectors and can be found in major museums, including the Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.

The village’s strategic location made it a hub for trade and travel. In the 16th and 17th centuries, Doune’s center gradually shifted to its present location, aligning with important trade routes and serving as a key stop for cattle drovers moving their herds from the Highlands to markets in central Scotland. The establishment of regular markets and fairs, sanctioned by a royal charter in 1611, further cemented Doune’s role as a bustling market town.

In the late 18th century, the construction of a cotton mill in nearby Deanston provided significant employment opportunities for Doune’s residents, marking a shift towards industrialisation in the region. The mill’s establishment contributed to the village’s growth and economic development during this period.

In contemporary times, Doune has gained international recognition as a filming location for various film and television productions. Doune Castle has notably featured in works such as “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” “Game of Thrones,” and the “Outlander” series, attracting fans and tourists from around the world.
