The village of Dornie is situated about 200m off the main road, and many visitors only go to the Castle on the other side of the road. It's only 5 minutes walk between the two.

[edit] See

• Eilean Donan Castle - a real picture postcard castle, it sits on it's own small island about 50m into Loch Duich, reached by crossing a stone bridge / causeway. Remodelled several times into an 'ideal' castle, it is well worth a visit, with some interesting rooms and exhibits.

[edit] Do

• Go hiking[1] - this is one of the best areas for walking in Scotland.
