1. Glenfinnan Monument
One of the most striking monuments in Britain, this 1815 tower overlooking Loch Shiel commemorates the place where Bonnie Prince Charlie raised his standard. Note, however, that the figure on the top is a Highlander, not the prince himself. The story of his ill-fated campaign is told in the nearby visitor center. The view down Loch Shiel from the Glenfinnan Monument is one of the most photographed in Scotland.

2. Glenfinnan Viaduct
The 1,248-foot-long Glenfinnan Viaduct was a genuine wonder when it was built in 1897, and it remains so today. The railway's contractor, Robert MacAlpine (known among locals as "Concrete Bob"), pioneered the use of concrete for bridges when his company built the Mallaig extension, which opened in 1901. In more recent times the viaduct became famous for its appearance in the Harry Potter films. The viaduct can be seen on foot; about ½ mile west of the railway station in Glenfinnan, on the A380 road, is a small parking lot. Take the footpath from here; you'll reach the viaduct in about ½ mile. If you time it right, usually at 11 am, 1:15 pm, 3:15 pm, and 6 pm (confirm times at westcoastrailways.co.uk), you'll see the iconic Jacobite Steam Train crossing the bridge.
