This postcard shows the view of the 13th century Eilean Donan Castle from the east side while the next postcard showed the castle from the western side. In the late summer month of August 2022 we visited this iconic castle when we spent our dream family holiday in Scotland especially in the Scottish Highlands.
According to the Eilean Donan Castle website:
As one of the most iconic images of Scotland, Eilean Donan is recognised all around the world. Situated on an island at the point where three great sea lochs meet, and surrounded by some majestic scenery, it is little wonder that the castle is now one of the most visited and important attractions in the Scottish highlands.
Although first inhabited around the 6th century, the first fortified castle was built in the mid 13th century and stood guard over the lands of Kintail. Since then, at least four different versions of the castle have been built and re-built as the feudal history of Scotland unfolded through the centuries.
