Eilean Donan Castle

What people say

"Once used as a stronghold for the Scots during the 1600s, this castle has been destroyed and rebuilt to it's original beauty! The castle you see today has been restored and named a World UNESCO sight. You will have to buy tickets for this stop, but you will get to step back in time and learn the history of this amazing castle. "
"I personally did not visit inside this castle, but we can get a great view of it as you're entering and exiting the Isle of Skye! If you equally don't feel like going for a tour, you can pull over and take some stunning pictures of the castle on the water surrounded by mountains! "
"Eilean Donan Castle is picturesque and features in the 1986 movie Highlander and the 1999 World is not Enough. "
