chateau Eilean Donan Castle - Kyle of Lochalsh Scotland
I've driven past Eilean Donan castle countless times almost without a second glance on my way to bigger and better things - mountains! However, I was stopped in my tracks early one morning, and just had to capture the scene. The sky was moody, the light golden, the air was still and best of all the tide was in which covered the seaweed and gave almost perfect reflections. It may be a 'honeypot' but in those conditions it would be rude not to stop!
Went on a roadtrip with a bunch of friends on Sunday, a bit of a marathon trek round Wester Ross in the North West of Scotland. Ended the day at Eilean Donan Castle as you do!
I have been after this particular photograph since time began. I have waited years to capture the glorious glow of the gorgeous 13th century...

On a damp and overcast winter's morning how about a reminder of warmer times? Eilean Donan Castle is a spectacular spot on its little island, just east of the village of Dornie. I was lucky enough to be there when the tide was in, and as the sea was flat calm the reflections were almost perfect.
The castle was founded in the thirteenth century, and became a stronghold of the Clan Mackenzie and their allies the Clan MacRae. In the early eighteenth century, the Mackenzies' involvement in the Jacobite rebellions led in 1719 to the castle's destruction by government ships. Lieutenant-Colonel John Macrae-Gilstrap's twentieth-century reconstruction of the ruins produced the present buildings.
