I’m very fortunate to be employed by the Conchra Charitable Trust as Castle Keeper of Eilean Donan Castle, perhaps the most romantic castle in Scotland and certainly one of the most photographed. I’ve been at Eilean Donan for around 5 years, and am frequently asked to provide more information on the comings & goings at the castle. Following the success of the Facebook page that we launched last year, I have somewhat reluctantly agreed to start a Blog on this much loved Scottish icon.
To be honest, I have absolutely no idea what type of information I will post on here, and have even less idea if anyone is interested in my inane ramblings, but I will honestly strive to give those of you that are interested, a taste of life at Eilean Donan, whom my wife calls ” the other woman”.
What’s in a life of a castle-keeper
Always fun to read
Good luck with writing.
Thanks Edwin, never a dull moment in the life of a Castle Keeper, and no two days are ever the same. Thanks for your support!
Thankyou so much for the blog! It will be wonderful to read about the daily goings on at Eilean Donan…what a beautifully intimate snapshot it will create for all of us around the world who love and feel so connected to this magical place. Love and blessings to all…Leanne
