Eilean Donnáin

On a small Scottish Island Stands a castle of grey Eilean Donan is its name On Loch Duich in display Like all our castles In history they are steeped They have seen many battles And many, many weeps But this castle is a star Appearing in movies through the years James Bond and The Highlander Brought us spys and ancient peers It is also used for weddings Many memories for future says Parents remember also The day their daughter was given away So to all my Souper friends To Alba you must come See these castles of grey To the sound of the pipes and drums http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/scotland-3.php

It would certainly be great to see these castles, James! I've seen photos of it on the National Geographic Channel! Great place to explore. Another piece of history learned! Thanks again! Peace, Audrey

Will u do me a Souper favor? check out a new poet, Daniel Cheeseman, and read some of his spectacular writings... he is from France and a little shy to continue to stay on... I have tried to encourage him but if more commented on his poetry it might help... thankxxx to my friend the Highlander... luv.. Linda-Marie..

Movie makers can try all they want, but they can never build sets to match the beauty of ancient castles such as the one you describe so eloquently here, dear Highlander. I feel like my heart belongs in a place like this. This castle will surely be part of my tour when I visit Europe! One for my faves, James. Love, Carolyn
