Eilean Donan Castle, Kyle of Lochalsh, Scotland
What's it like?
This is the romantic Scottish castle par excellence. Sitting just off the west coast, opposite the Isle of Skye, it's linked to the mainland by a footbridge. You can explore nearly every part of it.
What's the story?
It's named after St Donan, a Celtic martyr. Though a castle was first built on the site in the mid-13th century, it was rebuilt many times over the ages. It was last sacked, by the Royal Navy, in 1719, but the ruin was lovingly restored by a retired colonel who bought it in 1911.
