Donan Castle is a 13th century stone courtyard fortress, founded by the MacKenzies.
The 14th century keep of three storeys and a garret, was garrisoned by the Jacobites
in 1719, it surrendered after being bombarded by three English frigates. Early
in the 20th century, the slighted remains were awe inspiringly reconstructed.
