The morning mist disappears as the sun illuminates the Isle of Skye Castle.
The story of Eilean Donan Castle and of Eilean Donan, the island on which it stands, is an ancient one. Until the 1920s traces remained of what was probably an Iron Age fort and settlement on the island. This is perhaps no surprise. Eilean Donan stands in a strategically important location. To its west is Loch Alsh which helps separate the Isle of Skye from the mainland. To its south east the loch becomes Loch Duich, and extends for five miles inland to the mouth of Glen Shiel. To its north east the narrower Loch Long extends for over four miles into the surrounding mountains.
By the 600s, it seems that the island here was the site of a monastic cell founded by the Irish bishop, St Donan: and the name Eilean Donan or "Island of Donan" has stuck ever since. The next stage in the story came in the mid 1200s, when Kenneth MacKenzie held the island for the Scottish crown against Norse incursion...
