EILEAN CASTLE - SCOTLAND
Eilean Donan castle lies on a tiny island in the middle of loch (lake) Linnhe on the
West coast of Scotland just south of Ben Newis .
Although the island of Eilean Donan has been a fortified site for at least 800 years,
the present building largely dates from the early 20th century.
The Eilan Donan (island of Donan) was established in 6th-7th century.
The castle was re-built between 1912 and 1932 by Lieutenant Colonel John MacRae-Gilstrap.
