from highlander posted in movies by pete_nice

The grounds of the Eilean Donan Castle are believed to have been settled as early as the 6th century, when the Picts of Scotland built a stone fort at the location.

The tower house was built in the 14th century, then blown up by the English Navy in 1719, then reconstructed from 1919 to 1932.

The castle was also home to the Clan MacLeod in the 1986 film Highlander.

From 1942 to 1952, Nora Hendrix (grandmother to Jimi Hendrix) lived at 827 East Georgia. Located in the Strathcona neighborhood of Vancouver (also known as the East End until the 1950s), the area is a multicultural melting pot.

Jimi Hendrix, born on November 27, 1942, undoubtedly spent some time with his grandmother at this location.
