Built
13th century
Eilean Donan Castle is a picturesque castle that frequently appears in photographs, film and television; it dominates the small tidal island of Eilean Donan, which lies about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) from the village of Dornie.
The castle was founded in the thirteenth century, and became a stronghold of the Clan Mackenzie and their allies the Clan Macrae. Since the castle's restoration in the early 20th century, a footbridge has connected the island to the mainland.

I have been already wondering where I had lost the reference to Stewards ruled Scotland - for me to be appointed to the photograph to be a 'must have seen' means I have found a tagged idea about content issues which will certainly interest the new House of Argyll-Buer |+| where is a new House one would say could come in a clan branch set in - proposed - in Veere Zeeland Scottish Houses conferential results - don't omit that we see everything in small kind lens system accounting - such is just and good for the behold of traditions - who we are is less important than what we do//
