"The end of our journey impended. Great fields stretched on both sides of us; a noble wind blew across the occasional immense tree groves and over old missions turning salmon pink in the late sun. The clouds were close and huge and rose." Part 4, Chapter 6, page 300 ON THE ROAD-JACK KEROUAC

IN SEARCH OF THE HOLY GRAIL(DOUNE CASTLE)

Doune in Stirlingshire, is three miles west of Dunblane and eight miles north-west of Stirling. Located in the valley of the river Teith it's strategic importance was recognised early on - there is a Roman fort at Ardoch at the confluence of the river Teith and Ardoch Burn. There are earthworks surrounding the present castle which may indicate that there was an earlier castle on the same site.
In recent years the castle has gained considerable publicity through being used in the film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (it was also used in the film "Ivanhoe" many years earlier) and Python fans have been known to make the pilgimage to Doune for that reason.COINCIDENTLY I COULD HAVE BEEN IN THAT FILM AS I WAS A STUDENT AT THE NEARBY UNIVERSITY OF STIRLING AT THE TIME IT WAS MADE AND STUDENTS WERE USED AS EXTRAS FOR BATTLE SCENES-BUT I GOT DRUNK THE NIGHT BEFORE AND DIDN'T MAKE IT!!!

Royal Pretensions
The present Doune Castle was established at the end of the 14th century by Robert Stuart, the first Duke of Albany and younger son of King Robert II. When his elder brother, King Robert III became unfit to rule, the Duke of Albany virtually governed Scotland for thirty years, especially after he had starved to death the heir apparent, the Duke of Rothesay (King Robert III's eldest son). So although Doune was not a royal palace at that stage, it was built by someone who was a king in all but name. The rightful King, James I, returned from exile in 1424 after the death of the first Duke of Albany in 1420. King James promptly executed the second Duke of Albany and took over Doune as a royal castle. (ARE NOT KINGS GREAT?)

THE COMMANDO MEMORIAL - The Memorial commands wonderful views of Ben Nevis, the Grey Corries and the western end of the Great Glen. It was unveiled in 1952 by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and commemorates the elite soldiers of the Commandos who died during the Second World War. Achnacarry, six miles from Spean Bridge, was the Commandos' Basic Training Centre from 1942. Over 25,000 men were trained here and in the surrounding area including British, American, French, Belgian, Norwegian, Polish, German (Jewish) and Dutch troops. With Ben Nevis only an 18 mile run from Achnacarry, reaching the summit was just one of the challenges for a day's training! Many veteran Commandos make the annual pilgrimage to attend the Service of Remembrance and Wreath Laying held at the Memorial in November. At any time, this moving tribute offers a rewarding visit, and spectacular photos are often available, especially at sunset.
