Doune Data Recovery
Doune
Doune (Gaelic: An Dùn, 'the fort') is a burgh in the district of Stirling, Scotland, on the River Teith. Traditionally and geographically, Doune lies within Perthshire (this is also reflected in postal addresses, for example Earn Farm, Doune, Perthshire). However, administratively Doune is under the control of Stirling Council. Doune is assigned Falkirk postcodes starting 'FK'.
History
The town is dominated by Doune Castle, built in the late-14th century. Architecturally it is a mixture of fortress and manor house.
Doune was also famous for its manufacture of pistols, but this eventually ceased due to the competition of manufacturers in, for example, Birmingham where production was cheaper. Today, these pistols are collected and can be found in major museums, including the Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. Allegedly a Doune pistol fired the first shot of the American War of Independence.
Land east of Doune was owned by the Stirling of Kier family (who still own a lot of the land around Kier House, but sold the house itself), and the current owner of the Kier Estates is the politician, Archie Stirling. One member of the family, SAS founder David Stirling, is memorialised at a monument on the Kier land near Doune known as the "Hill o' Rou".
Archaeology
The remains of a Roman fort were excavated by Headland Archaeology.[1] Three ditches and the base of a rampart were investigated comprising part of the defense works. Set into the back of the rampart five circular stone bread ovens were located. Running behind the ovens a gravel track was interpreted as the intervallum way (one of the internal roads of the fort). The foundations of a building that it is thought served as the fort’s hospital were also uncovered. Fragments of samian ware and amphorae were recovered dating to the Flavian period and the first Roman incursion into Scotland (from AD 79 to mid AD 80s).
