We also visited another Outlander site- Doune Castle became Castle Leoch of the MacKenzie Clan. 🥰⁣ ⁣ But long before, it was the castle from Monty Python and the Holy Grail! In the video portion I could not remember Holy Grail for the life of me.🤪⁣ ⁣ But at my Advanced age we still quote lines from this movie that came out during my childhood! Only a flesh wound!🤣🤣🤣⁣ ⁣ I'm headed over to JFK to begin my journey home to Virginia. It's time for me to return to my own castle!🏰⁣ ⁣ #quiltville

Welcome to the Great Hall at Doune Castle! Step over the “threshold” and catch a glimpse of what life might have looked like in the 18th century. The Great Hall was the grandest room in the castle, reserved for events too large or important to be conducted elsewhere. The room is vast and is reached by a stone staircase in the north-west corner of the courtyard.
