Scottish food

At the castle the Coffee Shop serves a wonderful array of home-made produce. Wholesome soups, freshly-made sandwiches, and some of the very best home baking that the highlands has to offer. You can also enjoy hot paninis, baked potatoes, filled rolls, fresh salads and hot dishes which utilise the best of locally-sourced ingredients.

Also “Heilan Scran” ( Highland food ) is Eilean Donan’s brand new Takeaway operation, offering fresh innovative dishes in a street-food style. With alternative ways to present the best and tastiest of fresh Scottish ingredients.

Eilean Donan means Island of Donan (a religious figure from the 12th century). Eilean Donan was Clan MacKenzie’s most important stronghold from the 13th Century until it was destroyed in 1719. Robert the Bruce was given refuge in Eilean Donan Castle by John MacKenzie, Second of Kintail when he was being hunted by the English at the beginning of the fourteenth century.
