Stunning pics of Scottish castle that featured in James Bond shared by photographer

A photographer has shared stunning photos of a Scottish castle that has featured in the likes of James Bond and Highlander.

Jim Rocks Photography captured the images of Eilean Donan, which is a small tidal island in the western Highlands where three sea lochs—Loch Duich, Loch Long and Loch Alsh—meet. It is dominated by the castle that sits in its centre, which is said to be among the most recognisable castles in the country.

Simply referred to as Eilean Donan Castle, the structure dates all the way back to the 13th century, when it was used by King Alexander II to defend against Viking raiders. Over the years, the original castle has seen many changes as new owners have moved in, with it later becoming a stronghold of Clan Mackenzie.
