Best Castles in Europe

Eilean Donan Castle, Scotland

Scotland practically overflows with ancient stone castles and ruins, but there's something extra special about Eilean Donan Castle. Perhaps it's the castle's charming bridge and moss-covered walls, or its spectacular location among the lochs of the Highlands. Or perhaps it's because it served as inspiration for DunBroch Castle in the Pixar movie Brave. Whatever the reason, we're here for it.
