Eilean Donan Castle, located on a small island where three sea-lochs meet in the Scottish Highlands, has a rich history dating back to the 6th century. Originally chosen by Bishop Donan for a monastic cell in 634 AD, the first fortified castle was constructed in the 13th century by Alexander II to defend against Viking invasions. Over the centuries, the castle saw various expansions and reconstructions, evolving through different phases.

In 1719, Eilean Donan played a role in the Jacobite uprisings. Occupied by Jacobite leaders and Spanish soldiers, it was heavily bombarded by the British Royal Navy and subsequently destroyed when 343 barrels of gunpowder were found and detonated. The castle lay in ruins for nearly 200 years until it was restored between 1912 and 1932 by Lt Col John MacRae-Gilstrap. This restoration incorporated ruins from the 1719 destruction and added the iconic bridge that connects the castle to the mainland.

Today, Eilean Donan Castle is a beloved symbol of Scottish heritage, attracting visitors with its stunning location, historical significance, and well-preserved interior filled with period artifacts and displays.

Just completed the N-Somerset consultation form about introducing carpark fees. It's loaded in favour of introducing the fees. Read the questions and the multi choice answers carefully, because they are purposely confusing and offer no choice. How would you prefer to pay car park fees? No choice but to agree one form of payment. They blackmail you with climate change. I don't think Portishead can solve the problem, do you? They say paying for parking will solve nuisance parking...can't see how. It will increase nuisance parking if anything etc etc etc. I don't think we stand a chance.

On day three, the group leapt forward five hundred years and found
themselves in Stratford. They were enthralled by the birthplace of
England’s and possibly the world’s most famous playwright. Amazed by
the story of his life, they saw, for themselves, how people lived during
this exciting time in history. Outside Macbeth was still delighting the
crowd five hundred years after it was first performed.

Day_2_Chepstow Castle

The second day involved a trip to Chepstow Castle. Built in the tenth century on the edge of the river Wye and overlooking miles of unspoiled countryside. With their imaginations running wild, the group explored the
history of the castle and the Norman conquest.

Forty-five minutes after landing in England, the group had a make-shift picnic on a patch of grass. It might as well have been a grand London park because the children’s faces couldn’t hide their excitement. The fact it was in the over height parking at Heathrow, didn’t make any difference.
They were in England!
