Clachan (klockan) Duich (duhie) is the ancient church and burial ground of the MacRaes of Kintail. Located near the banks of Loch Duich, and a few miles south of Eilean Donan Castle, Clachan Duich has been in existence for at least 1,000 years and probably was in use three centuries earlier. Surrounding the ruins of the old church lie MacRae ancestors in graves marked and unmarked—some of them clan heroes and warriors, some of them simple folk of the Highlands. Clachan is the Scottish Gaelic word for “stones” and is used throughout Scotland to describe a village built of stones. Duich is name of the nearby Loch and is derived from the Scottish Gaelic term for St.Dubhthaich, or St. Duthac, a venerated religious figure.

A Fox’s eye view of the loch … peering though the grass stems. / This is the head of the loch but not far from Eilean Donan which is further down the loch on the other side.

One of the most famous mountain view in Scotland … I only hope I have done it justice.

The little road that climbs up and over Rattagan to get down to Glenelg has some of the most stunning views of the head of Loch Duich, the Five Sisters and the road south. If you look at this in the large view you will see the road snaking round the far side of the loch after it descends from Glen Shiel

Snapped this on my way home from Skye. I had hoped to catch a bit more of the castle, but the sun had already gone behind the mountains.

Looking North East from the Ratagan side of the loch. The hosts of our B&B suggested driving up this side of the loch into the hills for a nice view of the area. I am glad they did. While we were up here shooting, the RAF did a very low fly-by over Duich into the hills. Loud does not begin to describe the event.

Eilean Donan Castle is situated in Loch Duich near Dornie about 8 miles from Kyle of Lochalsh on the A87 road on the west coast of Scotland near the Isle of Skye. Loch Long and Loch Alsh are close by. The origins of Eilean Donan stretch way back in time. The remains of a Pictish fort were found in vitrified rock when excavations once took place on the island. Opposite the castle is the sculptured impression of a human foot in a stone. These have been found in other parts of Scotland at the entrance to Iron Age settlements. / The name Eilean Donan is Gaelic for Island of Donan, a 7th century saint who is thought to have lived here as a religious hermit. / Information boards displayed at the castle state that: / The missionary work of Abbot Donan (who was reputedly a contemporary of famous Saint Columba) took him from SW Scotland through Ayrshire northwards and into Sutherland. Presumably he then passed westwards for churches bearing his name exist in Loch Carron, Loch Broom, Kildonan in Skye and at Eilean Donan where a small oratory or cell stood. He then moved to a monastic foundation on Eigg where while celebrating the Holy Eucharist on Sunday 17 April 618 the monastery was raided by a band of marauders and Abbot Donan together with 52 of his companions were beheaded. / ”...and there came robbers of the sea on a certain time to the island when he was celebrating mass. He requested of them not to kill him until the mass said, and they gave him this respite; and he was afterwards beheaded and 52 of his monks along with him.”
