Clan Macrae Castle Loch Duich Highlands Of Scotland

Tour Scotland travel video clip of the Clan Macrae Castle in Loch Duich, with Scottish bagpipes and drums music, on visit to the Scottish Highlands. Eilean Donan Castle is located where three lochs meet, Loch Duich, Loch Long and Loch Alsh. It has long been associated with the Macraes, when it was a stronghold of the chiefs of Clan Mackenzie. The castle was destroyed by the British Royal Navy in 1719 during the third of the Jacobite Risings. The ruinous castle was purchased and rebuilt during 1912-1932, by Lt.-Col. John Macrae-Gilstrap.
