Eilean Donan castle in Scotland.
It was my dream to visit it and we got there in a typical Scottish weather - wind and rain - leftovers of the hurricane.

Lovely! Background is perfect. You know the castle's a fake right ;)

Thank you :)
No, what do you mean "fake"? For me living in Australia nothing older than 100 years is fake :)

Well it's not even 100 years old :D The castle was 'reconstructed' in the 1920s, completed 1932, at the behest of an apparently slightly mad aristocratic Colonel who wanted it to look very romantic. Really 'old' castles wouldn't look so fussy and detailed and picturesque as Eilean Donan - they would have been plain and functional. That's why it's so funny - and slightly tragic - that it stands as a great monument of Scotland. It's about as real as Greyfriar's Bobby!

And to think that I spent a whole day in the rain just to see it :)
But the scenery on the way there was amazing :)
