| 説明 | The magical Eileen Donan Castle which is found in north west Scotland.Historically, the castle, like most in these parts, has had a rather chequered past. Originally built in 1220 by Alexander II as a defence against the Vikings, it subsequently became a stronghold of the Mackenzies of Kintail (later the Earls of Seaforth) who installed the MacRaes as hereditory keepers. Then in 1719, it was destroyed whilst acting as a garrison for Spanish troops fighting for the Jacobite cause on behalf of the 5th Earl of Seaforth. Restoration work was only started two hundred years later and not completed until 1932. This century it has become one of Scotland most photographed castles thanks to its picturesque setting on an islet in Loch Duich by the main road to Kyle of Lochalsh. In 1984 it featured in the movie Highlander with Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery.www.jimroberts.co.ukwww.flickriver.com/photos/jimborobbo/popular-interesting/All my photos and images are copyrighted to me although you are welcome to use them for non commercial purposes as long as you give credit to myself.Thank you for looking at my photographs and for any comments it is much appreciated. |
