Eilean Donan Castle

Kyle of Lochalsh. The castle has existed in many forms but first fortified structure was not built on the island until the early 13th century as a defensive measure, protecting the lands of Kintail against the Vikings who raided, settled and controlled much of the North of Scotland and the Western Isles between 800 and 1266
