eilean donan castle

from highlander posted in movies by pete_nice

The grounds of the Eilean Donan Castle are believed to have been settled as early as the 6th century, when the Picts of Scotland built a stone fort at the location.

The tower house was built in the 14th century, then blown up by the English Navy in 1719, then reconstructed from 1919 to 1932.

The castle was also home to the Clan MacLeod in the 1986 film Highlander.
