An area
surrounded by glorious scenery in true walking
country, Kintail lies at the head of Loch
Duich on the route from Fort William to the
Kyle of Lochalsh. It is dominated by the Five
Sisters range of mountains which soar to over
3,000ft.
A little
further north lies the moody, 13th century
castle of Eilean Donan, probably the
most-photographed site in Scotland. It was
severely damaged in the early 1800s but
rebuilt in the last century to become a major
tourist attraction. With walls up to 14ft
thick, it sits menacingly on a causeway
reached only by boat or across an arched
bridge. |
