DunBroch Kingdom

The kingdom of DunBroch is the main setting of Brave.

Located in the Highlands of Scotland, and taking its name from the ruling clan, it is led by the King Fergus and the Queen Elinor. Three clans, the Macintosh, MacGuffin and Dingwall, each led by a lord, and that once were opposed in wars, have been united under the sword of Fergus and held together by the diplomacy and political savvy of Elinor in the kingdom. However, they tend to despise each other, and live in a very fragile peace.

Trivia

 * According to story artist Louis Gonzales, for the DunBroch castle, the production team didn't want a Germanic Cinderella-like castle, but an “earthy” castle, grittier than the pristine ones often seen in animated films. For inspiration, They visited the Eilean Donan and Dunnottar Castles.
