No window & door installer listed in Doune yet.

A window and door installer fits new uPVC, composite, aluminium or timber windows and external doors - whole-house replacements, single units or upgrades to existing properties.

Look for FENSA or CERTASS registration so the installer can self-certify the work to building regulations and you avoid a separate council inspection.

Energy ratings matter for both heating bills and resale - aim for A-rated double or triple glazing, and ask about the warranty on both the units and the installation.

Doune is a village on the River Teith, eight miles north-west of Stirling on the A84 road towards the Highlands.

Doune Castle, a 14th-century stronghold built by Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, is the village's defining landmark - known to many as a filming location for Monty Python and the Holy Grail and more recently Outlander.

The village has a quiet, well-kept character, with a handful of shops and pubs along its main street and Doune Ponds nature reserve on its doorstep.

It sits at the point where the lowland farmland of the Forth valley begins to give way to the hills and glens of the southern Highlands.

Stirling is a council area stretching from the city of Stirling in the heart of Scotland's central belt northward and westward into the Trossachs, the Breadalbane hills and some of the most dramatic Highland landscape in the country.

The city of Stirling sits at the historic crossing point of the River Forth, the strategic gateway between the Lowlands and the Highlands - a position that made it one of the most fought-over places in Scottish history.

North of the city, the character changes rapidly: the lowland farmland of the Forth valley gives way to the lochs, forests and mountains of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and further north to the remote glens of Breadalbane.

The council area takes in everything from suburban commuter towns like Bridge of Allan and Dunblane to Highland villages like Killin, Crianlarich and Tyndrum - an extraordinary range of landscape and settlement within a single local authority.

Transport links are strong around the city, with the M9, M80 and several rail lines converging on Stirling, though the Highland communities to the north rely on the A84, A85 and the scenic West Highland railway line.
