Seeing these castles is surreal. They are so old and just so majestic. This castle, the Eileen Dunan castle, was spotted by us after just turning a corner on the highway and there it was! We didn't go in this one, it was great enough to just see it from the road. The water surrounds it completely and a bridge was built to access the castle. It is really in the middle of nowhere. Just beautiful. In the winter, it gets covered in snow and the pictures are beautiful. This was just a fantastic surprise on our way to Skye.

Its Eilean Donan castle. meaning Donan's Island in Scottish Gaelic. You see it on every shortbread tin ever made! It was in the movie Highlander in 1986, they paid us locals £25 a day to stand about and wave swords :)
