Eilean Donan Castle



Although the island of Eilean Donan has been a fortified site for at least 800 years, the present building largely dates from the early 20th century. Today's castle, which rose from the ruins of its predecessor, was re-built between 1912 and 1932, and is more recently famed for appearing on BBC TV with the orange BBC air balloon floating overhead! The castle was also used extensively as a location for the 1986 film Highander!

The Falls of Glomach
One of the highest waterfalls in Britain, 113m (370 ft), set in a steep narrow cleft in remote country. The best approach is from the Morvich Countryside Centre (see Kintail), where Rangers may be available to give information. Or, for the very fit only, leave car by the Ling bridge, N end Loch Long, for a long walk along Glen Elchaig before making a steep climb to the Falls (7 miles – allow 8 hours). Ranger guided walks in summer.
