Doune Castle, Hamilton

Doune Castle, also known as Dean Castle, is part of the Dundurn National Historical Site, situated near Dundurn park and Castle. Its origins are traced back to 1830-1840, when Sir Allan MacNab, who was the owner of Dundurn Castle, decided to erect a stucco-covered brick structure near his estate. Its importance derives from the historical fact that it belonged to one of the most important personalities of Canada and from its architectural style, resembling Dundurn Castle.
