Our trip to the Scottish highlands was short (only two days), but we brought with us the best weather in years. As a McGraw, a visit to the ancestral home of yore was in order. Eileen Donan Castle is the seat of the McCrae clan (aka McGraw on the American side of the pond).
The pictures mostly speak for themselves.
We also popped over to the Isle of Skye, and then headed up the coast by the train line and partially along the North Coast 500. An incredible day.
For more about our trip to Scotland, see the pictures from our hike up Sgurr an Airgid where we took some one in a lifetime photos. We could see over 100 miles in every direction. And if you stay in Kintail, stay at the Kintail Lodge.

How lovely. So did people live there as recently as 1928? Is any of it furnished?

Rebuilt in 1912 by a Victorian. Completely refurnished and now a museum with a fake kitchen that features plastic food. In the ball room they hold events. Maybe one day we will rent it out like you guys are doing in Wales for a big party.

Smashing captures! We especially love the faraway captures of magic Eilean Donan, not so often seen. Well done, so beautifully framed.
