| Glenfinnan
Monument:
By 1815 the Jacobite threat had receded
sufficiently into history to allow the erection at Glenfinnan
of a monument to mark the raising of Charles Edward Stuart's standard
and the beginning of the ill-fated Jacobite Rebellion.
The Glenfinnan Monument came into the care of the National Trust
for Scotland in 1938, and they have maintained it ever since.
They have also built a visitor centre, details above right, next
to the main road. |
