Welcome to Loch an Eilein (loch of the island) with its island castle ruin and stunning surroundings of forests and mountains. You can explore the area at your own pace, a lap of the loch takes approximately 2 hours and will expose you to ancient pine trees, mountain and castle. The loop is around 3 miles (5 kilometres) and offers some of the best low level walking in Scotland. If you visit early enough in the morning, you might even bump into some very brave Cairngorm Wild swimmers that you mig

This beauty of a castle is Loch an Eilein, literally Loch of the Island. Now, lots of lochs have islands, but not all of them are entirely taken up by a stronghold once home to the Wolf of Badenoch! You'll find Loch an Eilein Castle just a short walk through the woods at Rothiemurchus, in the heart of the Cairngorms. The actual island would have been slightly bigger in the Wolf's day, allegedly connected by an underwater causeway now lost after the water level was raised. Locations for castles d

Hidden in the forest of Rothiemurchus is Loch an Eilein, one of the most special places in Scotland. The mirror-like water, ancient pine trees and mountain views are all part of the charm but it’s the 13th century island castle in the middle of the loch that’s the real jewel in the crown.Loch an Eilein translates from Gaelic as “Loch of the Island”.Very little written material exists about the construction of the island castle itself, though informed opinion dates its origin back to the late 14t

Eilean Donan Castle. 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.

Eilean Donan Castle, one of Scotland's most iconic landmarks, stands majestically on a small tidal island where three lochs meet.

The castle was a stronghold for the Clan Mackenzie and later the Clan Macrae, witnessing numerous clan feuds and the turbulent times of the Jacobite risings. In 1719, during a Jacobite rebellion, the castle was occupied by Spanish troops but was subsequently destroyed b
