Doune Lodge, a mansion in Kilmadock parish, Perthshire, 1½ mile NW of Doune village. Till some time into the present century it bore the name of Cambuswallace, and as such is remembered as the house where, on 13 Sept. 1745, Prince Charlie 'pree'd the mou' of Miss Robina Edmondstone. From the Edmondstones it has come to the Earls of Moray, the tenth of whom, about 1852, did much to improve the estate, building new lodges and extensive offices, crowned by a conspicuous steeple; and George Stuart, present and thirteenth Earl (b. 1814; suc. 1872), holds 40,553 acres in the shire, valued at £10,800 per annum. (See Moray, Donibristle, Darnaway, and Castle-Stuart.)
