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 visitor center across the road. For the best view of the monument, the loch, and the brooding landscape around, climb the small hill behind the visitor center. You'll be rewarded with one of the most photographed views in Scotland (another can be found by turning 180 degrees toward the viaduct).
