![]() one of the most photographed castles in Scotland. The Eilean Donan has been used in many movies and TV shows. The castle lay in ruins from the 1700's until 1912 where it was completely restored by John MacRae-Gilstrap. |
The island of Eilean Donan has been a fortified site for at least 800 years. Though surrounded by salt water, the island has a fresh water spring and has been inhabited since at least the Iron Age, although a castle was not built here until the early 13th century. Seen here at twilight. New!! Embossed Eilean Donan, click to view |
The bridge allows the tide to move in and out around the castle. A slight reflection can be seen in this view. |
Framed by tree limbs, the castle is slowly warmed by the morning sun. |
