{"product_id":"9781849170932","title":"Doune Castle by Historic Scotland","description":"One of Scotland's finest late-medieval strongholds, Doune Castle stands high on a promontory between the River Teith and the Ardoch Burn in Perthshire. It is a testament to the power of one nobleman, Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany. He was known as Scotland's `uncrowned king', and the castle was one of his main residences in the late 1300s.   For a long time Albany has been credited with the complete construction of the castle, making Doune a remarkable example of a medieval fortress built as one man's vision. However, fresh research is casting new light on Doune Castle, suggesting a much more complex history dating back to the century before Albany and beyond.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308394099061,"sku":"9781849170932","price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781849170932.jpg?v=1762807427","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781849170932","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
