November 9, 2012 — Eilean Donan Castle, Scottish Highlands"},"content":{"rendered":"

Perhaps the most beautiful and photographed castle in Scotland. You’ve likely seen Eilean Donan<\/a> before in movies such as “Highlander<\/a>“. Castles have stood on this island for over 1500 years, although this newest version was partially destroyed in a Jacobite uprising<\/a> in 1719. The castle was restored in the early 20th century and is now a popular tourist attraction.<\/p>\n

The weather when we visited in was typical of the Scottish Highlands in summer. Cold, windy and wet. Still, I found the tranquility and beauty of the place to be captivating. The image, to me, captures the essence of the Highlands.<\/p>\n
