EILEAN DONAN CASTLE

Following the failure of the rising of 1715, the Jacobites found new support from Spain. The Duke of Ormonde led the main invasion fleet from Spain, while an advance party of 300 Spanish soldiers under George Keith, 10th Earl Marischal, arrived in Loch Duich in April 1719, and occupied Eilean Donan Castle. The castle was destroyed by English Naval gunfire. At the time of the 1745 Jacobite Uprising it was still in a ruined state.
