Why Doune? Well, for one thing, it’s in Scotland, and Scotland is a country I want to visit someday. But for a geek like me, its most important feature is that it’s home to Doune Castle, which was featured prominently in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It, like most of the actors in that movie, played multiple roles—most shots that featured a castle were shot in or around Doune Castle.
