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 stunning print captures the majesty of this iconic monument, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Scotland's rugged Highlands.
The Jacobite Rising was a rebellion led by Charles Edward Stuart, also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, who sought to restore his family to the British throne. The monument marks the spot where he landed with just 38 men on August 19th, 1745, marking the beginning of a tumultuous and ultimately doomed campaign.
Today, visitors from around the world flock to Glenfinnan to pay homage to this significant event in Scottish history. The monument itself is an impressive structure that towers above Loch Shiel, its stone walls bearing inscriptions and carvings that tell the story of this pivotal moment.
This photograph by Alan Copson perfectly captures not only the grandeur of this historic site but also its serene beauty. The misty loch waters reflect perfectly off surrounding hillsides, creating a sense of tranquility amidst such turbulent times. Take a step back in time and immerse yourself in Scotland's rich history through this image.
