Glenfinnan (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Fhionnain,[2] [ˈkl̪ˠau̯n̪ˠ ˈʝũːn̪ˠɛn]) is a hamlet in Lochaber area of the Highlands of Scotland. In 1745 the Jacobite Rising began here when Prince Charles Edward Stuart ("Bonnie Prince Charlie") raised his standard on the shores of Loch Shiel. Seventy years later, the 18 m (60 ft) Glenfinnan Monument, at the head of the loch, was erected to commemorate the historic event
