Robert the Bruce was given refuge in Eilean Donan Castle by John MacKenzie, Second of Kintail when he was being hunted by the English at the beginning of the fourteenth century. The castle stands at the point where 3 lochs meet - Loch Alsh,Loch Long and Loch Duich. This
castle was built in 1220 and owned by the MacKenzies of
Kintail. In 1719 it was held by Spanish Jacobites. Three
English frigates attacked the castle and left it in ruins.
In 1912 work started on restoring the castle over a period
of twenty years at a cost of a quarter of a million pounds.
More recently the castle featured in the new Bond movie. Where
is it? Eilean Donan Castle is near Dornie,by
Kyle of Lochalsh, Ross-shire. It
is open April to October , every day of the week.
