Doune Castle from Glasgow via public transit

Hi, Leslie,

A quick Google search reveals that you can take the train (or bus) from Glasgow Queen Street (train) or Buchanan Street (bus) to Stirling, then the #59 bus to Doune Castle. The bus runs at 57 minutes after the hour, from stance 7 at the Stirling bus depot. The bus station and train station are very close to one another, so you should have no trouble getting there.

There are several good restaurants in Stirling near to the bus and train stations, and even one of those Scottish restaurants (McDonalds) close by.

Hope you see the Earl of Moray looking o'er frae Castle Doune.

Slainte!

Hi again, Leslie,

The #59 bus doesn't take you right to the castle. It takes you in to the village of Doune, and it's about a 10 minute walk to the castle from there. I'm not sure whether the bus goes by the castle or not, but perhaps you could ask the bus driver to let you off as close to the castle as possible. Also, where to be picked up on the way back.

I have to ask - "Monty Python" or "Outlander"?

Slainte!

Hi Mike! Thank you for the additional information. Your insight will aid us to navigate our way in a less stressed manner! Greatly appreciated. Our interest in Doune Castle stems from "Outlander"...you're on to us!! 😊
I have read a lot of your other replies to posters on here, and find your responses very informative and enlightening. You give fantastic, individualized replies. Thank you for your time and for sharing what you know!
Slainte!!

Hi Leslie, you'll enjoy Doune. Take a little walk outside the castle down toward the river. It will give you a great view of the castle and its huge curtain wall. There were people fishing in the river when I was there.

Thank you Pamela and JG!
