Later Friday, I picked up a friend in Edinburgh and we drove on to Stirling. The weekend was spent showing him around my favorite places in the area. We started out Saturday with a visit to Doune Castle, but since I'd been there many times before I didn't take a single photo. This is my TripAdvisor review of Doune: "Doune Castle is where Monty Pyhton shot most of the castle scenes from The Holy Grail, and it has also been featured in Game of Thrones and Outlander.
