The world-renowned story of Bonnie Prince Charlie's fight for the British throne gathered momentum at Glenfinnan where he raised the Jacobite standard and rallied his clansmen for battle.
The Glenfinnan monument was built by Alexander MacDonald of Glenaladale in memory of all the clansmen who had fought for the cause. The tower is now in the custody of the National Trust for Scotland and a Visitor Centre here (open April - October ) which tells the Prince's story.
The famous Glenfinnan railway viaduct which carries the trains between Fort William and Mallaig was the viaduct used in the film Harry Potter.
