Park & Stride

The historic streets of Doune were laid out for horse and cart, not the vehicles of today. Parking in central Doune is therefore limited. However you’ll find plenty of spaces to the west of the village, where you can Park & Stride into Doune and discover all we have to offer.

Average walking times to:
– Doune Ponds, 1 minute (with steps)
– Information and Heritage Centre, 10 minutes
– Doune Castle, 20 minutes
– Deanston Distillery, 25 mintues
