Eilean Donan Castle

The outlook for the day was showers, heavy at times, so we decided to go to Eilean Donan Castle – as it was indoors.

The journey was right across Scotland to the west coast – using roads that cut through some amazing scenery – unfortunately the weather stopped us taking any photos of the journey.

Coffee stop at Achnasheen – the cafe is right by the station, both are in the middle of nowhere!

The road and railway are very close most of the way to Kyle of Lochalsh.
