"Tranquil Eilean Donan Castle Scotland" Painting art prints and posters by bill holkham

Description:

I wanted to convey a strong fortification in a tranquil setting. The splashes of color from the trees and the sun reflecting upon the castle wall add to the warmth of the painting some of which is also picked up in the water.
Located on a small tidal island where three lochs meet, Loch Duich, Loch Long and Loch Alsh, in the western Highlands of Scotland; since the castle's restoration in the early 20th Century, a footbridge has connected the island to the mainland. This castle overlooks the island of Skye. A picturesque castle that frequently appears in photographs, film and television dominates the island, which lies about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) from the village of Dornie. Eilean Donan, which means simply "island of Donnán", is named after Donnán of Eigg, a Celtic saint martyred in 617. Donnán is said to have established a church on the island, though no trace of this remains.
