EDITORS COMMENTS
Standing tall on the shores of Loch Shiel, the Glenfinnan Monument commemorates a pivotal moment in Scottish history - the 1745 landing of Bonnie Prince Charlie at the start of the Jacobite Rising. This stirring monument marks the spot where Charles Edward Stuart, also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, arrived with his loyal followers to rally support for his bid to reclaim the British throne.
The monument itself is a striking tribute to Scotland's rich heritage and tumultuous past. Designed by architect James Gillespie Graham and built in 1815, it stands over 18 meters tall and features intricate carvings depicting scenes from Scottish history. The surrounding landscape is equally breathtaking, with Loch Shiel stretching out towards the distant mountains and rolling hills.
As you gaze out across this stunning Highland scenery, it's easy to imagine the drama and romance that unfolded here centuries ago. The Jacobite Rising was a complex and bloody conflict that would ultimately end in defeat for Bonnie Prince Charlie at Culloden Moor. Yet today, this monument serves as a poignant reminder of Scotland's proud history and its people's unwavering loyalty to their cause.
