Eilean Donan Castle
Eilean Donan is a small tidal island at the meeting point of three sea lochs in the western Highlands of Scotland, dominated by a castle long associated with Clan Mackenzie. The medieval fortress was destroyed in 1719 and the structure seen today is a 20th-century reconstruction on the original site.

As it stood in 1635
The shape it held in its prime.
Low tidal island crowned by a compact masonry castle: a tall rectangular stone keep with steep gabled roofline abuts lower ranges and is surrounded by a continuous curtain wall enclosing a grassy bailey. The curtain wall and keep are built of grey-brown local stone with small vertical windows and crenellations; a single arched stone footbridge links the island to the mainland. The island sits at the meeting of three sea lochs with mist-clad Highland hills rising beyond; the castle appears intact and inhabited.
