Eilean Donan (Scottish Gaelic: Eilean Donnain) is a small island in Loch Duich in the western Highlands of Scotland
From 2008, after my daughter wedding in UK we went on Whisky tours of Scoltand's distilleries :))
Whilst walking around a small Loch the sun kept peering out and backlighting this little scene. I think its Lichen hanging down which is an incredible colour.
Storm light over Stac Pollaidh as seen from the shore of Loch Lurgainn. Assynt and Coigach are truly magical areas in the far north west Highlands of Scoltand, whatever the weather!
"Scone Palace has an exciting and colourful history as one of Scotland's most important stately homes. Fifteen hundred years ago it was the capital of the Picts. In the intervening centuries, it has been the seat of parliaments and the crowning place of the Kings of Scots, including Macbeth and Robert The Bruce."

Cullen, Moray, Scotland
This is one of my favorite places on Earth. Cullen is a small coastal village in the Speyside region of Scotland. We have stayed there twice and I cannot express in words how wonderful and welcoming the people are. We used it as a base of operations for exploring the Speyside region on both our visits. What I remember most is those times were just stayed in Cullen and enjoyed the village. We stayed in the Seaside village pictured here. We were a 3 minute walk to the Moray Firth and a 6 minute walk to the CoOp and several restaurants. One of my favorite memories is my morning 3 mile runs up and down the coast or inland to explore the village.
Taken on a trip this week to the Highlands of Scoltand, we where fortunate to just to catch the last golden rays of light on the one and only Eilean Donan Castle on the shores of Loch Duich. The castle was used in the filming of the classic 1986 film Highlander film . The movies catch phrase was "There can be only one " a reference to the fact that in the end only one Immortal may survive The Game and gain The Prize.

The 4-hectare Palace gardens are encircled by the Queen’s park and set against the spectacular backdrop of Arthur’s Seat. The first gardens associated with the site were granted in Holyrood Abbey’s foundation charter and belonged to the community of canons.

Every time I approach this castle I announce the world doesn't need more photos of it . However I have never been able to pass it without trying to get something a bit different . This was taken on the way home from Skye on Friday a day earlier than schedule because of the snow forecast . Just 5 minutes later I was driving in 3 inches of snow -nasty.

To the far left of the sailing ship out of sight is Horseshoe Bay on Kerrera where King Alexander II of Scoltand assembled his fleet in 1249 to recapture the island and the rest of the Hebrides from the Norse Vikings who occupied them. He died of natural causes after setting up camp in the fields surrounding the Bay. The invasion of the Hebrides was abandoned at this point.
Fourteen years later in 1263 the Vikings assembled in Horseshoe Bay with 120 longship galleys headed up by the King of Norway, leading his men to the Battle of Largs, which, although short and swift, they lost to the Scots, whose King was now Alexander's son, Alexander III. The Norwegian King sailed back north to Horseshoe Bay for assembly before returning to Norway. A few years later after many skirmishes, the Norwegians signed the Hebrides / Western Isles over to the Scots and Scotland.
Ardentrive Bay, Kerrera to the right of the sailing ship was the home of a Sunderland Flying Boat Squadron during WWII in the early 1940's and at the forefront of the Battle of the Atlantic from their RAF HQ at Dungallan Road in Oban about a mile across the water. From here they helped to protect the convoys assembling to travel to the US and Russia from the Firth of Lorne, the passage of water between Kerrera in the background of the picture and the Isle of Mull behind it. Their nearest air threat as they gathered was from bombers based in Stavanger, Norway, which had been captured by the Germans. However the range was slightly too far to be a major danger. The main threat for the convoys was from U-Boats lurking around the Scottish Atlantic coast and as a result the area surrounding Oban and Kerrera was protected by anti-submarine protector cable loops.
Today Horseshoe, Ardentrive and Oban Bays are used mainly by yachts and motor boats for sailing, recreation and tourism, while the route through Oban Bay is the main passage for the MacBraynes 'Roll On Roll Off' Car Ferries based in Oban, travelling to the Western Isles. They carry mostly tourists and their cars but the routes are also the main highways as in Viking times for trade, provisions, communications and travel for local people.
