• Eilean Donan Castle - The famous castle which featured in the "balloon" sequences on BBC television. Possibly the most photographed castle in Scotland. Discover the history, see the stunning views, walk on the ramparts
and catch whispers in the wind; they carry a myriad of tales of MacRaes, MacKenzies and much more. You will pass Eilean Donan on your approach to Skye if travelling via Cluanie and Glen Shiel to the Skye Bridge at Kyle of Lochalsh.

• Dunvegan Castle - Dunvegan Castle has been the stronghold of the Chiefs of MacLeod for nearly 800 years and it remains their home. Built on a Rock once surrounded entirely by salt water, it is unique in Scotland as the only house of such antiquity to have retained its family and its roof throughout the centuries, surviving the extremes of feast and famine, the intermittent periods of warring with neighbouring clans, and the immense changes of social, political and economic life through which the Western Highlands and Islands have passed. The castle is open to visitors all year round - opening times are shown on the website.
