The Eilean Donan Castle should look quite familiar to you — it served as a major source of inspiration for the creators of Brave. Located on an island in Scotland, the castle is one of the most significant and iconic establishments of the Scottish highlands. Constructed in the middle of the 13th century, the castle has a long and storied history — at least four different versions of the Eilean Donan were built and then rebuilt.
