Eilean Donan castle
Eilean Donan castle at high tide. The castle is located on a small island in Loch Duich, in the western Highlands, Scotland, UK. This castle was built in 1220 for Alexander II as a defence against the Vikings. In 1539, the castle was occupied by Spanish troops who were attempting to start another Jacobite rising. Jacobite risings were rebellious wars occurring in the British Isles between 1688 and 1746, aimed at restoring James VII to the throne. The castle was reclaimed and demolished in 1719. It was restored between 1919 and 1932, which included the arch bridge at far left to provide easier access to the castle

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Eilean Donan castle, standing proudly on a small island in Loch Duich, amidst the breathtaking scenery of the western Highlands in Scotland. Built in 1220 as a formidable defense against Viking invasions, this ancient fortress has witnessed centuries of history and turmoil. Intriguingly, during the Jacobite risings between 1688 and 1746, Spanish troops occupied Eilean Donan castle in an audacious attempt to reignite rebellion. However, their efforts were ultimately thwarted when the castle was reclaimed and demolished in 1719. After lying dormant for almost two centuries, Eilean Donan underwent an awe-inspiring restoration from 1919 to 1932. As part of this restoration project, an elegant arch bridge was constructed on the left side of the photograph to provide easier access to this historic gem. The image captures Eilean Donan at high tide under a darkening dusk sky. The castle is beautifully illuminated with lights that highlight its architectural grandeur against the tranquil waters surrounding it. This enchanting scene evokes a sense of mystery and transports viewers back to a bygone era steeped in Scottish heritage. Eilean Donan castle stands as both a testament to Scotland's rich past and an iconic symbol of resilience. Its presence amidst mountains and lakes creates an ethereal ambiance that beckons visitors from around the world to explore its ancient halls and immerse themselves in its fascinating history.
