Eilean Donan

Eilean Donan, Loch Duich

And again...

And again...

Young piper, Eilean Donan

When was a young child I had a picture book of castles and the one which always captured my imagination most was Eilean Donan - I think because of its dramatic location on an outcrop of rock surrounded by the loch and the hills. Last week I took a 130 mile detour off my route to see it and I'm so glad I did. It lived up to my imagination.

The final shot is a bit cheesy but the lad was a great player and he was raising money for charity - so, what the hell!

I think so many of us in the UK (especially from the cities) don't get to see such raw natural beauty, because we would rather go abroad for holidays/city breaks. I travel abroad quite a lot, but try and get away somewhere in the UK atleast once a year - it makes me realise what beauty we do have.
