21. When you want to find some fairytale castle and views just come to Scotland. There is lots of amazing ruins and medieval buildings. In this country you can get to know many legends about monsters and real stores. One of the most popular legends is about Nessi – Loch Ness creature. This country is famous for its beautiful castles. The castles in Scotland weren’t build for enjoyment like palaces, these were real fortress they were used to defence against other scotland families ( clans).

22. EILEAN DONAN CASTLE
Eilean Donan is recognised as one of the most iconic images of Scotland all over the world. Situated on an island at the point where three great sea lochs meet, and surrounded by some majestic scenery, it is little wonder that the castle is now one of the most visited and important attractions in the Scottish Highlands. By the 600s, it seems that the island here was the site of a monastic cell founded by the Irish bishop, St Donan: and the name Eilean Donan or "Island of Donan" has stuck ever since. The island has been fortified since at least the Iron Age, the castle you see today was only rebuilt from earlier ruins in the years between 1913 and The biggest surprise at Eilean Donan is finding that the reality far surpasses the image. The castle is much larger than it appears from photographs. This is really interesting and unique place to visit in Scotland.
