    You were using multiple IMG tags and left off the image extension type.

    It looks as if you copied the correct bit from PhotoBucket, but it was unnecessary to then insert that information into additional IMG tags. Copy the text from PhotoBucket and then paste it into the forum post.

    Additionally, the IMG tags require that you include the image extension type. This image was a .jpg and just needed to have that bit added to the URL.

    Cef, Eilean Donan Castle is located on Loch Duich, near Dornie, in the Western Highlands. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the MacRaes are the hereditary Constables of this castle, although it was once home to the Mackenzies of Kintail. Someone may come along to correct me on this one.

    That is correct although legend has it that the castle was originally built by Clan Matheson at Alexander II's direction to protect the coast from from vikings. In fact the Matheson's were the constables for awhile, successfully defending the castle from attacks. I don't know when it transferred over to the McKenzies or when the McRaes became the constable.

    As a MacRae I must thank you for posting a photo of our castle. It's Eilean Donan at Dornie, near Kyle of Lochalsh
