Eilean Donan Castle. May 10th, 2016. Super duper popular castle as I found out during my research and could not wait to see it. I passed it by on my way to Skye and took the same bus back the next morning. I got there before it opened, most of my time I was up early and traveling early because I needed to catch buses and trains. It was ok, I was too excited to sleep most of the time.

A bit closer

Eilean Donan Castle
Not sure which loch this is
Nor this one
or this one…
The main gateway
Side view
Hello!!
Another side view
This castle was pretty amazing and our tour guide equally as amazing. I got to see the portcullis opening and closing. Super cool for a chick from California. I spent about 2 or so hours here and then had to head back to the bus because it took a while to get back to Skye and I needed to find the dinosaurs!!!!!
Beautiful view of the loch
As well as this one..
I am sure photographers take better shots of this.. but..
Norse ship figureheads, they are on the inside of the castle
Picture how live was here so long ago
Hello!! come in you say?
Do you think Nessie relatives live here?
Such a clear and warm day
Just another great view
I love the stone stairs
Falling on these would hurt like heck!
Or falling from here!
How old are these stones really?
Selfie!!
I am going with low tide here
