Still on our Isle of Skye theme, I took this photo a few years back. Eilean Donan Castle is probably, after Edinburgh, the most famous castle north of the border. Built in 1220, and home to the clans MacKenzie and MacRae, it sits at the meeting of three lochs, Loch Alsh which you cross to get to Skye, Loch Duich which runs south and Loch Long. It's a bleak and isolated location and those film crews must've huddled a bit closer together whilst there but the scenery is supremely beautiful and everything you could wish for from the Highlands. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #bonnyscotland #thehighlands #scottishicons #scottishheritage #kyleoflochalsh #eileandonan #clanmackenzie #clanmacrae #blackwatch #castlesofscotland #scottishtourism #scotlandthebrave #scotlandforever #wildbritain #lifesbetteroutside # #beautifulbritain #abundareuk https://www.instagram.com/p/CRO3VrIH2yr/?utm_medium=tumblr

The name Eilean Donan, or the Island of Donan was likely named after the Irish Saint, Bishop Donan, who came to Scotland circa 580 AD and likely set up a small community there. The small tidal island where three sea lochs meet (Loch Duic,Loch Long and Loch Alsh), was first fortified to withstand the Vikings in the thirteenth century. The site grew into a large castle, covering the whole of the island but at the end of the fourteenth century, the castle was reduced to about a fifth of this size. Eileen Donan’s part in the Jacobite risings of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries ultimately lead to its demise, and for nigh on the next two hundred years, the castle lay in ruins. In 1911, Lt. Colonel John Macrae-Gilstrap bought the island, rebuilding the castle using earlier plans and completing the building in 1932.

Old MacKinnon Castle in Kyle of Localsh. We didn't get super close because the path was all mud and we both got our feet soaked and I put a seashell in my pocket but it was full of Dead Sea creature and now my pocket smells like sea sea creature. #timeforscotch #kyleoflochalsh #caistealmaol #kyleakin #scotland #scottishhighlands
