Castle Eilean Donan

As we parked our car and walked toward the Castle, a sudden and intense rain squall

slammed us. If you look at the bridge you can see the rain sweeping

up and over the side of the bridge right where the MacCleods

beat Christopher Lambert and drove him out of the

clan, in the movie "The Highlander"

The views of these castles as we came around that last bend in the road, were absolutely visceral. The beauty and history combined to hit me in the gut every time. We knew we would see alot of castles, but we were unprepared for the shear number of them. They were literally everywhere. Sometimes only a mile apart. It was a real eye opener as to what the neighborhood was like in those days.
