The monument, situated on the scenic Road to the Isles, is set amid superb Highland scenery at the head of Loch Shiel. It was erected in 1815 in tribute to the clansmen who fought and died in the Jacobite cause. prince Charles Edward Stuart's standard was raised near here in 1745. Despite its inspired beginnings, the campaign came to a grim conclusion on the Culloden battlefield in 1746 Nearby is the spectacular curved railway viaduct much featured in the Harry Potter films which is quite a sight if viewed with the Mallaig Steam train on the Fort William line.

The Private House Stay's Guide
West Highlands
The West Highlands is defined on PrivateHouseStays as the area from the Summer Isles north of Ullapool to Morvern in North Argyll. The coastline meanders round beautiful sandy beaches and wild low population inlets with idyllic little villages and winding roads taking in Gairloch, Torridon, Plockton & Kyle of Lochalsh, Knoydart, Mallaig, Ardnamurchan and Morvern. It is much recommended that this area is toured by car but it must be done by taking your time, stopping to admire the scenery, allowing a few hours to climb up the hills to get the best viewpoints or allowing yourself (or your children) time to run wild amongst the sheep or on the beaches
