The village lies within the parish of Kilmadock and mainly within the area surrounded by the River Teith and Ardoch Burn.

[2] Doune has a small primary school with 183 pupils on the roll (June 2016), drawn from a catchment area which extends outside the town, especially to the north.

[7] Throughout the parish the names most often met with are Campbell, Stewart, Ferguson, Morrison, McAlpine, McLaren, MacDonald, Mathieson and Cameron.

One member of the family, SAS founder David Stirling, is memorialised at a monument on the Keir land near Doune known as the Hill o' Rou.

Also lost to the quarrying was a mound measuring 150 yards (140 metres) long, 100 yd (90 m) wide and 30 ft (9 m) high, known locally as the Round Wood.

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 and an iron-smelting shaft furnace, a first for Roman Scotland.

Near the Bridge of Teith, on the low road to Callander, a burial mound called Tullochanknowe is said to be a favourite haunt of the fairies.
