Description
Eilean Donan Castle.
Founded on a small tidal island where three sea lochs meet, Loch Duich, Loch Long and Loch Alsh, in the western Highlands of Scotland in the thirteenth century. It became a stronghold of the Clan Mackenzie and their allies the Clan Macrae. The Mackenzies' involvement in the Jacobite rebellions led to the castle's destruction by government ships in 1719. The castle was rebuilt by Lt. Col. John MacRae-Gilstrap between 1919 and 1932 and has been open to the public since 1955. Half a million people visit the castle each year.
