Eilean Donan Castle

Highland,
Groot-Brittannië


Probably the most photographed castle in Scotland. Situated on an island at the point where three great sea lochs meet, and surrounded by some great scenery.
Although first inhabited around the 6th century, the first fortified castle was built in the mid 13th century and stood guard over the lands of Kintail. Since then, at least four different versions of the castle have been built and re-built as the feudal history of Scotland unfolded through the centuries.
