            Eilean Donan (Scottish Gaelic Eilean Donnáin) is a small island in Loch Duich in the western Highlands of Scotland.  

It is possible that an early Christian monastic cell was founded on the island in the 6th or 7th century, dedicated to Donnán of Eigg, an Irish saint who was martyred on Eigg in April 617. No remains of any Christian buildings survive, though fragments of vitrified stone, subjected to very high temperatures, have been discovered indicating the presence of an Iron Age or early medieval fortification.[

Since the castle's restoration in the early 20th Century, a footbridge has connected the island to the mainland.
