By far the most picturesque and photographed castle in all of Scotland. Eilean Donan sits on a small tidal island where three lochs meet (Loch Duich, Loch Long, and Loch Alsh) and is connected to the mainland by a stone footbridge. The mountain backdrop and surrounding area are equally as breathtaking and as photo-worthy as the castle itself.  There is a fee to enter the castle which includes a guided tour (which we did not take), and a nice gift shop and cafe.  After seeing many pictures on calendars and postcards, I was anxious to take some great shots myself. Mission accomplished.
