Eilean Donan Castle and visitor entry outside the castle

Eilean Donan Castle and visitor entry outside the castle. This is the entrance to the castle, with a winding path and a lot of greenery outside the castle. The Eilean Donan castle is located on the Eilean Donan island, located in the western Highlands of Scotland at a distance of around 1 km from the nearby village of Dornie. The Castle is located on the Loch Duich. The island was named after Donnan of Eigg, a martyred Celtic saint, which was martyred in 617. He was supposed to have built a church here, but there are no remains of this church. The castle was built approximately in the 13th century, and was finally destroyed in the early 18th century after the clan in the castle were involved in the Jacobite uprising. The castle belongs to the Clan Macrae. It is also famous as the castle that is one of the most famous castles of Scotland, being highly photographed. The current structure of the castle is after reconstruction in the twentieth century, this reconstruction being done by Lt. Col. John MacRae-Gilstrap, and to make the whole place more tourist friendly, a bridge was constructed to give easier access to the castle. Now the castle is the 3rd most visited castle in Scotland.
