Eilean Donan Castle

Eilean Donan Castle is the stunning Highlands castle set on an island in the middle of three lochs. The castle is the most photographed castle in the UK and it featured in the films Highlander and James Bond . There have been rumours that Game of Thrones was filmed at Eilean Donan Castle , but that is not true . Your tour guide will take you to the three best locations for pictures of the castle .

Eilean Donan means Island of Donan (a religious figure from the 12th century). Eilean Donan was Clan MacKenzie's most important stronghold from the 13th Century until it was destroyed in 1719.

Robert the Bruce was given refuge in Eilean Donan Castle by John MacKenzie, Second of Kintail when he was being hunted by the English .

In 1719 three English frigates sailed into Loch Duich and bombarded the castle until a direct hit on the arsenal left it in ruins. The castle them lay in ruins for nearly 200 years. In 1911 John MacRae-Gilstrap bought the castle and spent 20 years restoring it .

What is the connection between Eilean Donan Castle and the Game of Thrones ? There seems to be a lot of GOT fans who think the show was filmed at Eilean Donan Castle , for some reason . Actually Doune Castle is the GOT castle in Scotland - it was where the Feast of Winterfell was filmed in the first episode.

Eilean Donan Castle has appeared in a number of films , including the James Bond film the World is not Enough and Highlander .
