Eilean Donan Castle

Eilean Donan Castle

The most photographed castle in Scotland

Drive from Mardon
1 hr 45
Best season
May - October
Time to spend
2 hours (stop en route to Skye)

A stone bridge, a tidal island, a rebuilt 13th-century keep - sit on the shore and wait for the sun.

Highlights

  • Castle interior tour
  • The Clachan pub across the road
  • Sunrise from the western shore

Time it for tides

Eilean Donan photographs best at high tide, when the causeway shortens and the castle appears to float. Check tide tables before you drive out - you can add ninety minutes for a lunch stop and be back on the road to Skye.
