For the Love of the British Isles: EILEAN DONAN CASTLE

Edinburgh may be Scotland's most famous castle, but this one is undoubtedly its most photographed.

The name Eilean Donan, or island of Donan, is most probably called after the 6th century Irish Saint, Bishop Donan who came to Scotland around 580 AD.

Eilean Donan played a role in the Jacobite risings of the 17th and 18th centuries, which ultimately culminated in the castles destruction.

The rebuilding of it was completed in 1932.

For the Love of the British Isles

The one thing I love, is riding my motorcycles around the beautiful British Isles. This is a collection of some of the places I've been, and seen.

These small islands are an entire library of different geographies, history back to the dawn of time, and some of the most beautiful places in the world.

The pages are split into counties and two or three of the largest cities, and will be updated by me, whenever I come back from my travels.

Please take the time to explore them, as I myself explore the real thing. Oh, and don't imagine all of the posts will be about well-known places. I like the unusual and the obscure.

I hope you enjoy them!
