The name Eilean Donan is Gaelic for Island of Donan.
The castle is situated near Kyle of Lochalsh on the road from Isle of Skye to Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands.
In fact the castle’s location has nothing to do with modern road communications but its situation at the confluence of lochs Alsh, Duich and Long allows control of important waterways which, in historic times, were the only means of travel.
Looking back through history there is evidence of settlement/fortification on the site dating back to the Iron Age ( approx. 1000 BC to 300 AD). The current castle has a lineage dating back to a medieval origin in the 13th and 14th centuries.
