Best way to get to Eilean Donan Castle from Edinburgh
2023年6月14日 · That lunchtime train from Edinburgh, if it works on your timing, gets into Inverness at 1706. There is a coach direct to Dornie from Inverness Bus Station (next to the Railway Station) at 1745, arrives Dornie at 1938. Then next day you could see the Castle and leave Dornie for Inverness at either 1154 or 1419.
Driving from Eilean Donan Castle heading to Edinburgh
2017年6月13日 · 3123 posts. I would suggest stopping in/near Boat of Garten or Aviemore. After you leave Eilean Donan Castle in Dornie, you'll probably want to stop along the north shore of Loch Ness to visit Urquhart Castle and/or the Loch Ness Centre & Exhibition. From there I would head straight through Inverness and pick up the A9 south toward Aviemore.
Scotland Castle Advice - Rick Steves Travel Forum
2018年11月4日 · 1440 posts. Hi, Joe, Since you're going to be in Edinburgh anyway, Edinburgh Castle is almost obligatory. Outside of that, Stirling, Blair, and maybe Dunvegan. Doune seems to be a favorite with a lot of people, and it's close to Stirling. Cawdor, Urquhart, Eilean Donan, and Armadale are worth a miss. Balmoral is definitely worth a miss.
Eilean Donan from Oban - Rick Steves Travel Forum
2024年5月29日 · 2228 posts. Eilean Donan is the iconic Scottish castle that appears on all the tins of shortbread etc. The outside is stunning but like Skyegirl says, the inside is quite disappointing. It is a long way - allow 3 hours each way to drive. By bus it requires three changes of bus and is going to take 5-6 hours one way.

2017年2月23日 · Eilean Donan seems to be confirmed by Google images. An hour and a half from Inverness according to Google maps. It looks like a really cool castle and a costs 7.50 GBP to visit. Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness is a ruin but I always thought an evocative one, from photos. (Probably jam packed with tourists all the time). I have never been to either.

2023年1月20日 · Enjoy the view of Eilean Donan Castle from the outside, but the inside is, as others have said, a reconstruction. Save your limited time for other attractions.

2017年11月13日 · Eilean Donan Castle, in particular, seems a magnet for large bus tours.
