Eilean Donan Castle

On our way off of the Isle of Skye, we stopped at Eilean Donan Castle! This is really easy to do on your way on or off the Isle. It’s right on the way! And it’s a really cool stop as well. My only complaint is that it was super busy, but that’s usually a sign of a good spot! With really popular places we want to see but want to avoid crowds, we try to go right when they open or right before closing. That seems to help! But with our drive, we couldn’t time it that way this time.

You’ve probably seen Eilean Donan Castle in this music video (which literally makes me cry), but there’s a lot more to it! It was raining pretty good our whole stay there, but we still really enjoyed ourselves. Read more about Eilean Donan Castle’s history here.
