Glenfinnan Monument |
||
|
On 19th August 1745, at the head of Loch Shiel, Prince Charles Edward Stuart raised his Standard, marking the start of his campaign to restore the exiled Stuarts to the throne. From this spot, Bonnie Prince Charlie and his followers made it as far south as Derby before their eventual defeat the following year at Culloden.
The Glenfinnan Monument was designed by the Scottish architect James Gillespie Graham, and was erected in 1815 by Alesander Macdonald of Glenaladale as a tribute to the clansmen who fought and died in the cause of the Stuarts. The story of Glenfinnan and the '45 is told at the Visitor Centre with commentary in six languages about the Jacobite campaign.
