Glenfinnan Monument
Glenfinnan Monument, cared for by the National Trust for Scotland, stands at the head of Loch Shiel and marks the spot where Bonnie Prince Charlie raised his standard in 1745. The tall stone column is set against a wide Highland landscape of loch, hills, and open sky, making it a clear and simple subject for photography. The monument works well in wide compositions that show its scale within the surrounding scenery, especially in calm weather when reflections appear on the water. It is easily reached from the visitor centre and nearby parking, with well maintained paths leading to the best viewpoints. (Glenfinnan, Scotland, United Kingdom)
