Abstract Details

2018, Bachelor of Arts (BA), Ohio University, History.
Doune Castle in Stirlingshire, Scotland has been used as a filming site for many major productions over the years. Everything from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (1975) to "Game of Thrones" (2010-present) has used Doune Castle as a filming location. However, Doune Castle is also one of Scotland’s great castles with likes of Mary of Guise, Robert, Duke of Albany, and John Home once calling it home. The intersection of these two narratives, the fictional and historical ones, places Doune Castle at a unique position in Scottish heritage tourism and conversations about public history. This research analyzes the relationship between popular culture and heritage at Doune Castle. It argues that the historical narrative of a site often comes as an afterthought to the media that made the site famous.
