Having spent a day thoroughly enjoying the sights of Skye we retired to our room at the B&B and i was doing a little work, glancing up I noticed how the light had changed.
We rushed out with our cameras and drove to various points in and around the castle and were lucky enough to reflect on the castle beauty and the late evening light.
As one of the most iconic images of Scotland, Eilean Donan Castle is recognised
all around the world. Situated on an island at the point where three
great sea lochs meet, and surrounded by some majestic scenery, it is
little wonder that the castle is now one of the most visited and
important attractions in the Scottish highlands.
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.
Dornie (
Scottish Gaelic:
An Dòrnaidh ) is a small former fishing village in the
Kintail district in western
Ross-shire Highlands of
Scotland, with a population of 360 (2006 census
[1]). Dornie
It is near the meeting point of
Loch Duich,
Loch Alsh and
Loch Long.
