The Red Lion Inn

3 miles from the M9 motorway and as such is approximately 1 hour from Glasgow and Edinburgh, 30 minutes from Perth and 15 minutes from Stirling. Despite being centrally located, the Inn is only 30 minutes from the stunning beauty of the Trossachs which Queen Victoria described as the 'Highlands in miniature'. At over 200 years old, the Red Lion is a charming village Inn located in the centre of the picturesque village of Doune in central Scotland. A friendly public bar serves a range of whisky and local beers, while our restaurant offers fresh pub grub with a little finesse.

Our Quaich suite is suitable for functions, meetings and events and opens onto a sunny courtyard. Recent history of the castle shows that it was built as a hunting lodge and retreat by Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, who was the Regent of Scotland from 1396-1420. Much of the castle has been restored in recent centuries, but it is still one of the best preserved medieval castles in Scotland.
