Years ago I was to London for one month and decided to visit Scotland during the weekend + 2 days. I had no idea where to go go broswed Loney Planet guidbook and spotted some pictures of the castles. Eilean Donan looked the most beautiful so I decided to see it. I took a bus to Inverness first, then a train to Kyle of Lochalsh. I stayed there for 2 days. On the first went to see Eilean Donan Castle. It looked amazing on the lake but I did not see it from the angle you managed to capture it. I really like it. The lights and colors are great.
