Eilean Donan Castle, Highland, Scotland. Eilean Donan Castle was built in 1220 by Alexander II of Scotland. A stronghold of the MacKenzie and MacRae clans, it is said to have been one of the refuges of Robert the Bruce when he was on the run from the English. The castle was destroyed by English naval bombardment in 1719 but was restored in 1932.
