Capture of Eilean Donan Castle

The Capture of Eilean Donan Castle was an land-based naval engagement that took place in 1719 during the Jacobite Rising of that year, and the War of the Quadruple Alliance. A British naval reconnaissance force of three ships attacked the castle of Eilean Donan on the west coast of Scotland, which was held by Spanish troops. After a naval bombardment, the British government forces stormed the castle, and the defenders surrendered. The castle was subsequently destroyed with gunpowder.
==Background==
The Spanish had sent troops after Cardinal Giulio Alberoni set up the ''Alberoni Plan'' a decision to support the Jacobite claims and its Highland allies both to depose George I and enthrone James Stuart.〔(Battle of Glenshiel@ads.ahds.ac.uk ) By A.H Miller. FSA Scot.〕 The Spanish landed over 300 marines with various Jacobite commanders such as George Keith (the tenth Earl Marischal). Intending to spread the rising Spanish forces had established a garrison in Eilean Donan Castle, one of Lord Seaforth's residences.
At the beginning of May, the Royal Navy sent five ships to the area for reconnaissance: two patrolling off Skye and three around Lochalsh, adjacent to Loch Duich. Early in the morning on Sunday 10 May, these latter three, the fifty gun HMS ''Worcester'', the forty four gun HMS ''Enterprise'', the twenty gun HMS ''Flamborough'', anchored off Eilean Donan on the north side of Loch Duich.〔Lang & Shields p. 362〕
