What happens when you put an ancient castle in the middle of the meeting
point of three locks you get this place Eiland Donnan castle which is located in
the heart of the highlands of scotland
Eiland donna castle is an ancient 13th century castle that's located here in
the highlands of scotland and when you do come here you're greeted said this
sound
yes there's actually papers here that will play you a warm welcoming tune as
you walk into the castle and the castle itself it looks like
something out of a fairy tale especially if the tide is high' walking across the
bridge seems pretty surreal and whilst you're
walking over the bridge you'll notice that this isn't the biggest castle that
you'll ever see but it is surrounded by some of the most
gorgeous scenery that you'll see here in the country of Scotland now the castle
is actually named after this monk called Donnan and Eiland Onam is actually
Gallic fourth on an island you get to learn a lot about Donna and the origins
of this castle and why this castle came to stand here on an island in the middle
of the meeting points of three flocks there's plenty of exhibits to see and as
you can see from the sign no photography or filming is allowed but as you know me
guys I can record without anybody noticing so sorry for the shaky camera
work but I'm doing this very covertly and it's pretty amazing to think that
all of this was built in the 13th century I mean how do you even build
this stuff without electric power tools or anything like that
it's absolutely staggering take notice of all the educational
placards that are dotted around the castle because they're actually quite
interesting so if you do take your time to read you can learn a lot about the
castle and the inhabitants who previously lived here and if you are
into that sort of thing apparently Alan darling castle is also
quite haunted whether you believe that or not yeah it's an interesting side
note be sure to go outside and have a look at the well and take a drink of
water actually no don't do that you'll
probably fall to death but once you have go around the castle and walk back over
the bridge that pretty much signals the end of your visit I highly recommend you
do this come here to a land Donna Castle especially if you're on your way to the
Isle of Skye as it's on the only road that takes you there oh and another
unofficial rule if you see a bagpiper in scotland you must pay the piper
that's not an official rule of course but rather than chance it here's a few
pennies
if you hang around the castle until nightfall you'll see the castle it
illuminated up like a Christmas tree and it's one of the most gorgeous old
buildings that you see especially when it's lit up here in Scotland I mean take
a look at that for you guys it also makes for some very great photography I
highly recommend you come here once in your life if you do visit Scotland okay
then I'm sold what do I do well you need to come here to Ellen
Donna and Castle this is literally on the wait to sky so if you are driving
this car you really can't miss this place because well it's a giant castle
in the middle of the water so yeah definitely can't miss it cost to do the
tour well it cost about 10 pounds and with that you get a free audio guide
which is fantastic and it gives you quite a lot of information as to what
what the castle is all about is there anything else I need to know yeah they
don't allow backpacks and photography in certain areas of the castle in fact they
don't allow backpacks at all so be prepared to just carry light when you
are doing this thing obviously in crappy weather
this place is infinitely a lot less interesting it's kind of overcast and
warm today which is fine for photography purposes ish but that means that
everything is just really hazy so if you are taking those into the ground ready
shots be prepared to use the DJ's function so guys if you have found this
