Eilean Donan Castle in Dornie, Scotland absolutely beauitful

---

We stayed for 8 days in the Ross-shire Red house of Dornie, just a short walk to the Elean Donan Castle. We almost felt like we were in one of the most beautiful villages around. The view from the house was something else. The village buildings and houses were beautiful with georgeous gardens surrounding each house along with distant views of the mountains of Skye and along with views over Lock Long and Lock Alsh. What a beautiful place to stay. There was a small convenience store, a phone in the middle of the village, a hotel, bar (lively on weekends), a mobile bank service on Tuesdays and Thursdays, a mobile market, and a post office. What a nice quiet place to get away from it all. I took a pleasant walk around the village one morning and you will see the beautity with some of these pictures. In the small villages of Scotland, the houses, stores, bars, etc. often run along one road facing the water allowing each one a beautiful view. Often the gardens are in a plot infront of the house to allow for more beauty. Enjoy!!!!
