Eilean Donan Castle, Dornie, Scotland.

            The magnificent and well photographed Eilean Donan Castle sits on it’s own island on the shores of Loch Duich near Dornie, Scotland. It's original structure was built in the thirteenth century and became a stronghold of the Clan Mackenzie and their allies, the Clan MacRae. However, in response to the Mackenzies' involvement in the Jacobite rebellions early in the 18th century, government ships destroyed the castle in 1719. The present-day castle is Lieutenant-Colonel John Macrae-Gilstrap's 20th-century reconstruction of the old castle.
