Glennfinnan "Jacobite - Lone Highlander" Tribute Monument
Glennfinnan Jacobite Tribute Monument is a moving tribute to those who died fighting the Jacobite cause, framed by dramatic and beautiful Highland scenery at the head of Loch Shiel.
Less than a year before the Battle of Culloden, Prince Charles Edward Stuart raised his father’s Standard at Glenfinnan, marking the start of the 1745 Jacobite campaign. An army of 1,500 rallied to join Bonnie Prince Charlie – they marched as far south as Derby before the retreat began that would seal their fate.
In 1815, the 18m-high monument was built here, with the lone, kilted Highlander at the top providing a poignant reminder of the clansmen who gave their lives to the Jacobite cause.
