The Glenfinnan Monument, Fort William, Loch Shiel, Scotland (@ SIME/eStock Photo)
comments,
- Atop the monument stands an unnamed Highlander.""That\s some view for a statue to enjoy
- If you stood here and turned around, you\d see the Glenfinnan Viaduct.""Some now call it the Hogwarts Express bridge
- The memorial here commemorates an attempt to seize the throne of Great Britain.""Who led this doomed charge from the Highlands?
- Like Civil War re-enactments in the United States, many Scots and English recreate battles from the Jacobite Rising of \45.""Load your musket, grab your kilt, and come along
