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.

From 1942 to 1952, Nora Hendrix (grandmother to Jimi Hendrix) lived at 827 East Georgia. Located in the Strathcona neighborhood of Vancouver (also known as the East End until the 1950s), the area is a multicultural melting pot.

Jimi Hendrix, born on November 27, 1942, undoubtedly spent some time with his grandmother at this location.

wLocated in the neighborhood formally known as Hogan's Alley (before the expansion of the Georgia Viaduct) in Vancouver is a shrine dedicated to Jimi Hendrix. The shrine features several pictures of Hendrix and his family, as well as photocopied notes, unique art, and a garden.

The location is significant because the shrine is the remnants of Vie's Chicken and Steak House (open 1950-1976), a restaurant operated by Nora Hendrix, grandmother of Jimi Hendrix. Jimi would stay with his grandmother nearby when his family was having troubled times.

After serving in the U.S. Army, Hendrix lived here the winter of 1962-63, practicing guitar and performing on Vancouver's Granville St.

The owner of the real estate, Vincent Fodera, realized the historical significance of the property only after seeing the address written on some artifacts at the EMP Museum in Seattle. When asked why he opened the shrine, Fodera responded, "People are starved for history in Vancouver, and I just want them to know and remember."
