Eilean Donan Castle: Medieval Misdoers, Legends & Jacobites

Welcome to Eilean Donan Castle, one of the most famous and photographed castles in Scotland, situated on a small island at the meeting point of three lochs. Jenny and Annie look into the origin tales of this incredible and beautiful building and find a surreal story about a prince who can speak to birds.

We read a medieval Scots poem to discover the hard justice of the first Earl of Moray, who harshly punished any criminals who stole from fellow countrymen.

Eilean Donan was also the site of conflict in the ill-fated Jacobite Rising of 1719, which had a disastrous ending for the castle!
